This makes me think about my "git restore :/" example, which does not
remove untracked files because its source is the index. But isn't it
inconsistent that we only remove untracked files with --source and
keep them without? Will that just confuse people more? Or did I just
forget to implement no-overlay mode for the index too?

Side note, to enable overlay mode again in git restore, maybe "git
restore --keep-untracked --source..." will be better than "git restore
--overlay --source..."
