Hi there, I'm wondering how much it would take to enable worktree specific sparse checkouts. From a superfluous look: - $GIT_DIR/info/sparse_checkout needs to be worktree specific - We don't have much tooling around sparse to speak of at all. The endgoal would be to have something like git checkout [--sparse <pattern>]... which sets up the sparse_checkout file and "git worktree" to pass any --sparse option on to "git checkout". While in an ideal world we all have micro repos, in the real world we often have larger repos with mostly independent subdirs. For a quick fix on a side branch in a subdir, a new sparse worktree would be an ideal lean solution. As it is, "git stash save && git checkout" is leaner but interrupts the workflow more, and a local "git clone" with links and alternates is leaner, too, but conceptually overkill if you want to work quickly on an existing side branch.
