Is there a way to pass apply.whitespace when using "git restore" like how it is done for git apply? I believe this might be a bug/missing feature. I have apply.whitespace=fix in my user git config. This usually works fine but I was working on a patch for a project today which is using tabs and spaces which messed up the commit. In order to avoid cluttering the diff with whitespace changes I tried to remove the whitespace changes with "git restore -p src/the-file-with-tabs-and-spaces.sh" but it seems that this causes git to fix the whitespaces again due to the configuration. I worked around this by setting a repo local config with "apply.whitespace=warn" but I wonder if there shouldn't be an --whitespace flag for git restore like it is for git apply. Is this a bug?
