I see your point about the current worktree/index/HEAD. I'm not a git
developer, but my idea is based on the concept that the sha-1 of the
content already exists in the object store regardless of its path(s).
That wouldn't work: the blob is added to the object store at the time of
"git add", so at the time of "git status", it has to exist in the object
store, whether it's "restored" or "totally new".
