But then "git restore" means "git restore --index > --worktree" and typing "git restore --index" effectively removes the > default "--worktree", which seems a bit twisted. Or "git restore --no-worktree" (essentially, instead of saying "keep", say "no" to mean "negation"). Incidentally, "git restore --no-index" does not have a counterpart in "git checkout", but I think it is probably a good thing to add; as it has to do far more than "git cat-file blob $tree:$path >$path" these days.
