This patch series includes a fix to the bug reported by Sean Allred [1] and diagnosed by Eric Sunshine [2]. The root cause is that 'git sparse-checkout init' writes to the worktree config without checking that core.bare might need to be set. This only matters when the base repository is bare, since creating the config.worktree file and enabling extensions.worktreeConfig will cause Git to treat the base repo's core.bare=false as important for this worktree. This series fixes this, but also puts in place some helpers to prevent this from happening in the future. While here, some of the config paths are modified to take a repository struct. The critical bits are in Patches 3 and 4 which introduce the helper and then consume it in builtin/sparse-checkout.c and sparse-index.c.
