restore: default to --source=HEAD when only --staged is specified

pclouds · gitster · commit 3a733ce52375 · 2019-05-07T13:04:47.000+09:00
"git restore --staged" without --source does not make much sense since
by default we restore from the index.  Instead of copying the index to
itself, set the default source to HEAD in this case, yielding behavior
that matches "git reset -- &lt;paths&gt;".
