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) -- Duy
