I have a git tree that would benefit from sparse checkout. I know which path I _don't_ want. Specifying all the paths I want would be a rather longer (and more error-prone) list. I suspect it would be best to support both. Does sparse use the same parser as .gitignore? (I guess not, if it handles trailing slashes differently?)
