I effectively did a typo, I meant `git checkout $commit $file` or `git restore -s $commit $file`. I forgot the --source in the `git restore` command. > Is your question that you expect a command like > > git restore --source=some-commit some-file > > to error if you have uncommitted changes (to "some-file")? > And instead you would run > > git restore some-file > git restore --source=some-commit some-file Exactly. If `--source $commit` isn’t specified, erasing uncommitted changes is what I expect. I scream-up, and want to start from a fresh state. On the contrary, if `--source $commit` is specified, I would like to get an error if $file has uncommitted changes. The reason I want to error when `--source $commit` is specified is because I most probably didn’t screw-up, but just forgot that I modified the file before copying its content from another revision.
