Subject: [PATCH] switch: stop accepting pathspec
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This command is about switching branch (or creating a new one) and
should not accept pathspec. This helps simplify ambiguation
handling. The other two ("git checkout" and "git restore") of
course do accept pathspec as before.
