I think the wording needs to be a bit more detailed; you copied the
wording from git-switch.txt, but usage of git-switch is not expected
to modify the behavior of other commands.  sparse-checkout, by
contrast, is designed to affect other commands: at the very least
checkout & switch, and likely will affect grep, diff, log, and a host
of others.  Perhaps something like:

THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL.  ITS BEHAVIOR, AND THE BEHAVIOR OF OTHER
COMMANDS IN THE PRESENCE OF SPARSE-CHECKOUTS, WILL LIKELY CHANGE IN
THE FUTURE.
