From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When the core.sparseCheckoutCone config setting was added in
879321eb0b ("sparse-checkout: add 'cone' mode" 2019-11-21), the
variables storing the config values for core.sparseCheckout and
core.sparseCheckoutCone were rearranged in cache.h, but in doing
so the "extern" keyword was dropped.
While we are tending to drop the "extern" keyword for function
declarations, it is still necessary for global variables used
across multiple *.c files. The impact of not having the extern
keyword may be unpredictable.
