Hello! Thanks for working on this patch, it's always nice to get more sparse
index support. Since this is your first contribution to the mailing list,
though, it's unclear to me whether you're working on this as an independent
contributor or if you're interested in the Google Summer of Code project
"More Sparse Index Integrations" [1]. If you're doing this for GSoC, could
you please prefix the title of this patch with "[GSoC]" (as noted in the
application details [2])?
On the topic of GSoC applications - if you are submitting this for GSoC, I'm
a bit curious as to why you jumped right into sparse index rather than first
submitting a microproject [3]. This is a good first pass at a sparse index
integration, but the microproject is a better way to get acquainted with the
conventions and requirements of contributing to Git, hence the strong
recommendation to complete one first.

Hello. So, yes, I am interested in GSOC. As for the reason for choosing
to do sparse-index, I had just missed the part about the micro-projects.
Sorry about that. So, do I submit a micro-project patch?
And as for the changes mentioned, I will make the changes in the title
