Thanks for taking the time to report this. The man page for git restore states When both `--staged` and `--worktree` are specified, `--source` must also be specified." So I think the bug is in the code that checks the options. It looks like it is just restoring from the index which is why there's no change to 'a'. Best Wishes Phillip
