"git checkout -- <paths>" is usually used to restore all modified
files in <paths>. In sparse checkout mode, this command is overloaded
with another meaning: to add back all files in <paths> that are
excluded by sparse patterns.
Add "--sparse" option to do what normal mode does: restore all
modified files and nothing else.

I'm not sure if rejecting --sparse when it has no effects (e.g.
switching branches or interactive mode) like this patch does is a
good idea. I think it's good in general to spot unused options. On
the other hand, people may want to add an alias
"co = checkout --sparse" to make this behavior "default". In that
case silently ignoring --sparse may be a good idea.
