I should send switch/restore again soon. There are still a few
unaddressed concerns for git-restore since last time. Probably time to
refresh those discussions.

Just catching up on back emails:

The one point I noted is that "Overlay" is a new magic term without
any explanation within the _documentation_.

It would appear worth it to also add something (follow up patch?) to
the e.g. git glossary to clarify how overlay differs, or is similar
to, the different merge and reset modes.

Yeah, I recall that.  I was hoping that it would stop mattering when
we start using switch-branches and restore-paths, but of course it
would not hurt to clarify the doc in the meantime.
