Yeah, this worked, and today I also noted `git restore --staged .`
works, as does Junio's suggestion on the other mail (`git restore
--staged revision.\*`), and quoting the * (`git restore --staged '*'`).
So maybe I didn't think outside the box enough before mailing :)

I think it's worth considering, especially as `git reset HEAD *` and
`git reset HEAD` both work. (`git restore --staged` complains that it
hasn't got any paths, but reset seems to figure you just mean
everything.) It was a surprising failure to me coming away from years of
using reset.

Anyways, maybe it's not a particularly weighty complaint, since there
are still ways to mass unstage, and if I had just RTFM I would have
found them. :) It's a new workflow, after all, and the old one still
works, so it's probably not reasonable to expect it all to just work the
same way with s/reset HEAD/restore --staged/.

Thanks!
