OK the cheatsheet would be like this (I'm dropping "git" prefix to
keep it short)

checkout <branch>          -> switch <branch> (same "dwim" behavior)
checkout <revision>        -> switch --detach <revision>
checkout -b <branch> <rev> -> switch -c <branch> <rev>
checkout <path>            -> restore [--worktree] <path>
checkout <rev> -- <path>   -> restore --source=<rev> --worktree --staged <path>
reset <path>               -> restore --staged <path>
reset <rev> -- <path>      -> restore --source=<rev> --staged <path>
reset --hard               -> restore --source=HEAD --staged --worktree :/
(not available now)        -> restore --source=<rev> [--worktree] <path>

There are other behavior changes to improve things, e.g. --no-overlay
is the default in "git restore". But those can't be shown in a cheatsheet.
