These changes apply more generally to the entire sparse-checkout feature. I can understand thinking it is only related to the sparse index because the tests follow the sparse index patterns. Those tests make sure that both full and sparse indexes are tested and have the same behavior. Perhaps this would be a good summary? "git add", "git mv", and "git rm" have been adjusted to avoid updating paths outside of the sparse-checkout definition unless the user specifies a "--sparse" option. Thanks, -Stolee
