From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The instructions for disabling a sparse-checkout to a full
working directory are complicated and non-intuitive. Add a
subcommand, 'git sparse-checkout disable', to perform those
steps for the user.

-Another tricky thing is fully repopulating the working directory when you
-no longer want sparse checkout. You cannot just disable "sparse
-checkout" because skip-worktree bits are still in the index and your working

-Then you can disable sparse checkout. Sparse checkout support in 'git
