Subject: Why does git-status suggest different commands to unstage files depending on whether there is a commit yet or not?
Message-ID: <5036f7d8-8ac9-4f50-99af-5a3a2d1a07fc@anselmschueler.com>

After a new repository has been created, before a commit has been made, 
when files are staged, git-status suggests using git-rm to unstage 
files: $ git status [...] No commits yet Changes to be committed:   (use 
"git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage) [...] After a commit has been 
made, git-status suggests using git-restore instead: $ git status [...] 
Changes to be committed: (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to 
unstage) [...] Why is this the case?
