git checkout -- <file_name> is incorrect

[ediso74]

Currently:
Undo local changes with the last content in head
git checkout -- <file_name>
Should be:
Undo local changes with the content in index(staging)
git checkout -- <file_name>

Reference: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-checkout
Examples: git checkout hello.c
restore hello.c from the index
