There is indeed inconsistency in "git status" advice with my patches,
where it suggests both "git restore --index" and "git rm --cached",
both operate only in the index but with different option name.
"--index --no-worktree" is one way to deal with this. Another way may
be avoid --index in git-restore and use another name like
--staging-area or something? That avoids the name clash, and we could
even add --worktree and --staging-area to "git rm" / "git apply"
later, deprecating (but still supporting) --index and --cached there.
