This series is based on ds/sparse-list-in-cone-mode.
This series attempts to clean up some rough edges in the sparse-checkout
feature, especially around the cone mode.
Unfortunately, after the v2.25.0 release, we noticed an issue with the "git
clone --sparse" option when using a URL instead of a local path. This is
fixed and properly tested here.
Also, let's improve Git's response to these more complicated scenarios:
1. Running "git sparse-checkout init" in a worktree would complain because
the "info" dir doesn't exist.
2. Tracked paths that include "*" and "" in their filenames.
3. If a user edits the sparse-checkout file to have non-cone pattern, such
as "*" anywhere or "" in the wrong place, then we should respond
appropriately. That is: warn that the patterns are not cone-mode, then
revert to the old logic.
