Here is a small patch to convert pack.useSparse to true by default. It's been released for over a year, so the feature is quite stable. I'm submitting this now to allow it to cook for a while during the next release cycle. UPDATE IN V3: (I'm sorry for the rapid v3, I forgot to push the commit that included this bit about GIT_TEST_PACK_SPARSE.) Thanks to Jonathan Nieder pointing out the test implications, I've added a patch to swap the role of GIT_TEST_PACK_SPARSE to test the other mode.
