I would like it to git grep to not search paths outside the sparse area (although --no-sparse would be nice for git grep in case you did want to search everything). The main reason I want sparse checkouts is for performance reasons. For example, git grep can take 10 minutes on my full repository so excluding paths outside the sparse area would reduce that to a few seconds. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
