I have not looked at non-builtin commands yet, but I think it's not a big deal. We have several rounds before this series is good enough ;) So in short, sparse prefix will be stored in config, core.sparsecheckout. you have three new commands to enter/update/leave sparse checkout: git clone --path=prefix # clone with sparse checkout git checkout --path=prefix # limit/update checkout paths git checkout --full # stop sparse checkout Other operations should be normal. User attempts to do anything outside sparse checkout will get flagged. Git itself should not touch anything outside sparse checkout. One more thing. As files outside sparse checkout will not be checking out, .gitignore and .gitattributes from parent directories (outside sparse checkout) will be gone too. This may lead to surprise. Comments are welcome.
