From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx> commit f2e3a218e8 ("sparse-checkout: enable `set` to initialize sparse-checkout mode", 2021-12-14) made the `set` command able to initialize sparse-checkout mode, but it also had to function when sparse-checkout mode was already setup and the user just wanted to change the sparsity paths. So, if the user passed --cone or --no-cone, then we should override the current setting, but if they didn't pass either, we should use whatever the current cone mode setting is. Unfortunately, there was a small error in the logic in that it would not set the in-memory cone mode value (core_sparse_checkout_one) when --no-cone was specified, but since it did set the config setting on disk, any subsequent git invocation would correctly get non-cone mode. As such, the error did not previously matter. However, a subsequent commit will add some logic that depends on core_sparse_checkout_cone being set to the correct mode, so make sure it is set consistently with the config values we will be writing to disk.
