The latest Linux image available on Travis CI is based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, which contains sparse 0.5.0, while their default image is based on 14.04, with sparse 0.4.5-rc1. Even the latest Ubuntu LTS is only at 0.5.1. https://travis-ci.org/szeder/git/jobs/488113660#L487 https://travis-ci.org/szeder/git/jobs/488113661#L208
