  This will be something like git reset --hard [branch] somefile, but HEAD will not be moved. this way the file in the branch be copied in the actual index, ready to apply the commands:

git restore --staged file to unstage

git add file to update what will be commited.

git restore file to discard changes in working directory.

Secuence diagram

Procedure in command line to prepare the scenario of two commits with two files.

Now create the branches on the respective commits.

apply git reset principal file1

What we can do now is 

git restore --staged file1   to unstage this mean wd to file1:v2

git add file1    to update what will be commited

git restore file1  to discard changes in working directory

git restore --staged file1

git add file1, leaves the working directory with file1:v2 and nothing to commit.

git restore file1, leaves the working directory with file1:v1 and ready to commit.
