It turns out it's not needed.
I was worried about changing core_sparse_checkout_cone when we got to
this function without either --cone or --no-cone mode being specified,
but re-checking the code, in such a case *cone_mode would have been
set to core_sparse_checkout_cone a few lines above, so setting
core_sparse_checkout_cone unconditionally here is safe. I will remove
the check.
