Elijah wanted another mode (and I agree) that modifies worktree but leaves the index alone. This is most useful (or least confusing) when used with <tree-ish> and would be default in restore-files. I'm not saying you have to implement it, but how do the new command line options are designed to make sense? I guess if --cached is "update index only" then --no-cached goes back to the default "update both worktree and index" and we need a another option for "worktree only"? Can we have one option with three possible values (index-only, index-and-worktree, worktree-only) maybe? -- Duy
