Enable the sparse index within the 'git diff' command. Its implementation
already safely integrates with the sparse index because it shares code
with the 'git status' and 'git checkout' commands that were already
integrated. For more details see:
d76723e (status: use sparse-index throughout, 2021-07-14)
1ba5f45 (checkout: stop expanding sparse indexes, 2021-06-29)
I preferred the references in your v3:
d76723ee53 (status: use sparse-index throughout, 2021-07-14)
1ba5f45132 (checkout: stop expanding sparse indexes, 2021-06-29)
because 7-character abbreviations aren't very future proof;
10-character seems better to me.
(Very micro nit.)
Appreciate the pointer - I'll return to the old formatting for v5.
The most interesting thing to do is to add tests that verify that 'git
diff' behaves correctly when the sparse index is enabled. These cases are:
1. The index is not expanded for 'diff' and 'diff --staged'
2. 'diff' and 'diff --staged' behave the same in full checkout, sparse
checkout, and sparse index repositories in the following partially-staged
scenarios (i.e. the index, HEAD, and working directory differ at a given
path):
1. Path is within sparse-checkout cone
2. Path is outside sparse-checkout cone
3. A merge conflict exists for paths outside sparse-checkout cone
The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~44% execution time reduction for 'git
diff' and a ~86% execution time reduction for 'git diff --staged' using a
sparse index:

You've changed some of the --staged to --cached, but based on Junio's
comments on the previous round, you probably want to convert the
others too.
Will do for v5.
