git switch --force vs --discard-changes: docs don't match behavior

Hi,

https://github.com/git/git/blob/683c54c999c301c2cd6f715c411407c413b1d84e/Documentation/git-switch.adoc?plain=1#L115-L124 describes --force as "An alias for `--discard-changes`."

At least on git 2.47.2 though[1], it looks like --force will force more things than --discard-changes:

$ touch Makefile
$ git switch master
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten 
by checkout:
         Makefile
Please move or remove them before you switch branches.
Aborting
$ git switch --discard-changes master
error: Untracked working tree file 'Makefile' would be overwritten by merge.
$ git switch --force master
branch 'master' set up to track 'origin/master'.
Switched to a new branch 'master'

Is this a bug in the code or documentation?
