Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 46e91b663b checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore'
Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a
new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking
out paths path.

Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the
command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to
match the man page.

A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>':

- 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more
  when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both
  worktree and index).

- 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command
  overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'.

- both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time
  (from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This
  overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>'

- default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and
  HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as
  with --source (*).

- when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be
  specified since the default source for these two individual targets
  are different (**)

- --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the
  source, restoring means deleting the entry

(*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think
  --from is a better name. The short option -f however is already
  taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to
  write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD.

(**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from
  the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it
  through when they type the commands.

interactive.singleKey::
In interactive commands, allow the user to provide one-letter
input with a single key (i.e., without hitting enter).
Currently this is used by the `--patch` mode of
linkgit:git-add[1], linkgit:git-checkout[1],
linkgit:git-restore[1], linkgit:git-commit[1],
linkgit:git-reset[1], and linkgit:git-stash[1]. Note that this
setting is silently ignored if portable keystroke input
is not available; requires the Perl module Term::ReadKey.
interactive.diffFilter::
When an interactive command (such as `git add --patch`) shows
a colorized diff, git will pipe the diff through the shell
command defined by this configuration variable. The command may
mark up the diff further for human consumption, provided that it
retains a one-to-one correspondence with the lines in the
original diff. Defaults to disabled (no filtering).
