hi,

the "git switch" and "git restore" commands were released two years ago, but the manpage still says "THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.".

i'd love to use them, but this warning gives me pause, perhaps i should wait until it stops being experimental, i worry that it might change in behavior unexpectedly and cause problems for me.

considering that they were released two years ago, could the experimental-warning be removed now?

thanks, gabor
