I effectively did a typo, I meant `git checkout $commit $file` or `git rest=
ore -s $commit $file`. I forgot the --source in the `git restore` command.

Exactly. If `--source $commit` isn=E2=80=99t specified, erasing uncommitted=
 changes is what I expect. I scream-up, and want to start from a fresh stat=
e.

On the contrary,  if `--source $commit` is specified, I would like to get a=
n error if $file has uncommitted changes. The reason I want to error when `=
--source $commit` is specified is because I most probably didn=E2=80=99t sc=
rew-up, but just forgot that I modified the file before copying its content=
 from another revision.

Should I wrap my text in 80 column? I=E2=80=99m not familiar with plain-tex=
t netiquette.
