The positional arguments to "git restore" are files.  So that command will
error unless a file called $commit exists.
(You shell's tab completion should guide you here.)
You can use the --source option to specify the commit.

Is your question that you expect a command like

	git restore --source=some-commit some-file

to error if you have uncommitted changes (to "some-file")?
And instead you would run

	git restore some-file
	git restore --source=some-commit some-file
