I think that you could very reasonably drop the first sentence here,
especially because it is repeated verbatim from the previous commit.

In fact... this whole paragraph looks similar to me. Maybe just:

  When invoking 'git restore' with both '--worktree' and '--staged', it
  is required that the ambiguity of which source to restore from be
  resolved by also passing '--source'.

I think that this is a very sensible default choice here, so I am OK
with this second patch, too.

This is extremely nit-pick-y, but is this line a little over-long? My
memory is that Documentation should be wrapped at 72 characters instead
of 80. I culd be totally wrong.

All looks good to me, here, too.
