At this point, it would be repetitive to explain the sparse index every time we do anything involving it. Reviewers should expect to be familiar with the topic, or consult the in-tree documentation [1, 2]. [1] https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/technical/sparse-index.txt [2] https://github.com/git/git/blob/4027e30c5395c9c1aeea85e99f51ac62f5148145/Documentation/technical/index-format.txt#L396-L406 Specific to this change, sparse directories are not being taken into account, since 'git show' is still in the compatibility mode that expands a sparse index to a full one [3]. Thus, the differences in this patch are only related to full-checkout versus sparse-checkout.
