An action to "restore" with an option to "keep" (i.e. "do not
touch") smells strongly of double negation.  We are restoring,
i.e. grabbing something that existed in the past out of another
place (like tree or index) and depositing it to the working tree to
recover its previous state, oh, not but not touching the content of
the working tree (or the index) intact?

It would be great if you can come up with phrasing that avoids
specifying what is *not* done, but instructs the command what is to
be done, perhaps along the lines of "restore --index-only", "restore
--worktree-only" and "restore --index-and-worktree (which would be
the default)".
