Should this include a doc update too?

OK, so this is about the directories which contain sparse entries in
it, right? In this case, we don't expect such entries to be in the
working tree, so we don't error out if they are missing and still let
the parent directory be moved.
This made me wonder about a slightly different case: would it be
interesting to also allow `git mv --sparse` to rename a single sparse
entry even if it's not in the working tree? I mean, something like:
echo a >a
echo b >b
git add a b
git commit -m files
git sparse-checkout set a
git mv --sparse b c
This currently wouldn't be allowed because "b" is not in the working
tree ("fatal: bad source" error). But, perhaps, would it be
interesting to allow the index to be updated anyway?

OK, here we are assigning the SPARSE mode to sparse index entries that
are inside a directory we want to move. Later iterations of the loop
will then process these entries, see this mode, and not error out if
the files are missing.

And finally, we don't want to rename the SPARSE working tree file (if
it exists) because its parent directory was already moved.

Nit: Isn't this case a bit redundant considering the test before this
one? That is, with `--sparse` there should be no error for `-k` to
ignore, and in the test above it we already checked that this command
indeed succeeds with `--sparse`.

Perhaps this could be a `test_when_finished` (maybe right after the
`git commit` invocation), so that we can restore the original state
for the next tests even if this one fails?
