Documenting as <revision> but having it be more general under the hood
and actually accept <tree-ish> sounds good to me.  I just think the
pain of trying to explain <tree-ish> is too much of a hurdle for
users, especially as I expect it to be very unlikely that users will
ever take advantage of it.

I don't think it's a naming issue, personally.  Years ago we could
have defined --ours and --theirs differently based on which kind of
operation we were in the middle of, but you are probably right that
they are now tied to stage 2 and 3.  But there's another place that we
might still be able to address this; I think the brain-damage here may
have just been due to the fact that the recursive merge machinery was
rather inflexible and required HEAD to be stage 2.  If it were a
little more flexible, then we might just be able to make this problem
go away.  Maybe it can still be fixed (I haven't dug too deeply into
it), but if so, the only fix needed here would be to remove this long
explanation about why the tool gets things totally backward.

Well, when you use a file rather than a directory:
  git restore-files --from=master~10 foo.c
then you expect
  git diff master~10 foo.c
to come back empty afterward.  I expect the same if I give a directory
rather than a file.  (Even if it does make 'restore-files' feel
slightly mis-named.)

Ooh, you're adding --guess?  Cool, that addresses my concerns, just in
a different manner.

Personally, I'd leave --track/--no-track out.  It's extra mental
overhead, git branch has options for setting those if they need some
special non-default setup, and if there is enough demand for it we can
add it later.  Removing options once published is much harder.

Yeah, if you're adding --guess then I'm happy.  I do think, though,
that if the user runs switch-branch to a branch that doesn't exist, we
should check if there is an associated remote-tracking branch so that
we can provide a better error message and help users learn about
--guess.  (Also, will there be a short -g form?)

Actually, -n/-N seems like a good idea, especially since --guess also
creates a branch.  If we do stick with -c/-C, then we may need to
document --guess as implying -c to avoid confusion (and then make sure
we get the synopsis correct to show which flags can be used together).

I did after writing several of these comments, and yeah, it really
needs a clean up.  Seems like something someone would do when writing
a (partial) replacement or simplified alternative.  ;-)

To be fair though, I suspect anyone familiar enough with git that
looks at git-checkout.txt again is probably going to miss at least one
thing that is bad for new users no matter how closely they look, just
because they've grown accustomed to the documentation as it is.  I was
trying to help point out possible issues that I spotted, but I suspect
others may be able to point out more.

Fair enough...though I think it may make sense to also review the
complicated options and determine if they are overly complicated.  I
think --orphan qualifies (I stumbled with it a bit for years the
occasional time I needed to use it), and my small suggestion above
would simplify both it and its description.  We should probably also
consider just removing <start_point> as an acceptable argument to
--orphan; if people want files from some revision after creating an
orphan branch that's a simple extra command.

It may be fine to stay.  Lots of my comments were just "let's try to
note any weirdness or complication that might seem excessive so we at
least have a conversation about it" (because it's easy to gloss over
since we've looked at these documents so many times) rather than a
"this definitely needs to go".
