I regularly use rm(1) for this:

	cd workspace/
	rm -fr *

Some of the dotfiles are left around, but that's usually pretty easy to
recover from too ;-)

This is basically the exact set of commands I use to "start over" from a
fresh checkout every time I want to repeat a build.

For instance here's how I repeat twice the build of a clean checkout
of the alpha5 version of a project:

	% cd ws/project
	% hg clone -r 1.0-alpha5 main rel-1.0-alpha5
	% cd rel-1.0-alpha5
	% ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make release
	% rm -fr *
	% hg up -C
	% ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make release
