git-checkout rejects plenty of invalid option combinations. Since git-checkout is equivalent of either git restore --source --staged --worktree or git restore --worktree that still leaves the new mode 'git restore --index' unprotected. Reject some more invalid option combinations. The other new mode 'restore --source --worktree' does not need anything else.
