I'm planning to add some "add" and "remove" subcommands to the
sparse-checkout builtin soon, and those would allow you to modify
the sparse-checkout cone one-by-one.

For the case you have now, you can try this:

	git sparse-checkout list >dirs.txt
	(edit dirs.txt to remove the directory you do not want)
	git sparse-checkout set --stdin <dirs.txt

Alternatively, you could do this abomination:

	git sparse-checkout list | grep -v "<dir2>" | git sparse-checkout set --stdin

I hope that helps.

Thanks,
