The former is only about switching branches, the latter restoring files. Then you can stay away from the overloaded git-checkout. See https://github.com/git/git/blob/pu/Documentation/git-switch.... https://github.com/git/git/blob/pu/Documentation/git-restore...

That's awesome :) though this is just one way to lose files.

Yeah some of those ways are known and there may be a way to recover those lost changes. It's still too early to see if something will materialize.
