Nope you confused me. non-overlay mode never touches untracked files
and so neither does git-restore.

It does make the description of git-restore about "remove if paths do
not exist" incorrect. But frankly I find it hard to explain
non-overlay mode with the index being the remove filter. In
git-checkout, where we update both index and worktree, this may make
sense to use the index as the remove filter. But worktree works on the
worktree only by default. I'll need to sleep on this.
