OK, I see that in the third patch we do start complaining about adding patterns in cone-mode when the existing sparse checkout configuration does not form a cone. So that may indicate that we expect users who wish to blow away their configuration to just run "init --cone". I'd be OK with that (without an additional warning step, although I think that doing that would be better). But either way, we should document this behavior clearly. > [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/YUi55%2F3L9nizTVyA@nand.local/ Thanks, Taylor
