When asked to do a sparse checkout, then git-clone(1) will spawn `git sparse-checkout set` to set up the configuration accordingly. This requires a proper Git repository or otherwise the command will fail. But as we are about to move creation of the reference database to a later point, this prerequisite will not hold anymore. Move the logic to a later point in time where we know to have created the reference database already.
