For new commands like git-restore, it's definitely a good thing to not
overwrite untracked files. For existing commands I guess we have to go
over them one by one. For "git reset --hard", it should really just
overwrite whatever needed to get back to the known good state. "git
checkout -f" , not so sure (seems weird that we need force-level-two
option to override the protection provided by -f, if we change default
behavior)
