I'm of the opinion that having sparse-checkout-related functionality all fall under the 'sparse-checkout' command makes sense. In the past, all such subcommands happened to require a working tree, but William has come up with a reasonable one that doesn't. So, I'd be in favor of this mixing. I'll try to get a chance to review these patches soon, perhaps this weekend.
