It's precisely because the behavior may change that they are labeled as
experimental.
I have 15 of experience using git, and I have tried to use them but to
me they are too cumbersome.
For example I would expect this to work:
git restore @~ -- file
But it doesn't, I need to specify `-s @~`.
git checkout is more user-friendly to me, so purpose of git restore is
defeated.
If the interface is changed, perhaps it will be useful to me. It isn't
at the moment.
Cheers.
