It is something on my TODO list.

I'm not sure what this means. When you hit Ctrl-J or choose it from the 
menu bar, current changes can be reverted by checking the file out from 
the index.

What constitutes as "accidentally removed", and where do we restore the 
file from? If it needs to be restored from the index, then Ctrl-J should 
do the trick. If it needs to be restored from an older revision, well as 
of now git-gui doesn't have many features that deal with things like 
this. But maybe something like this can be added.

This feature was recently added in fa38ab6 (git-gui: revert untracked 
files by deleting them, 2019-12-01). You can hit Ctrl-J on the untracked 
file to delete it.

A naive implementation of this shouldn't be too difficult. I'll see if I 
can find some time to do it.
