clone: allow initial sparse checkoutsrj/clone-checkout-sparse
Presently if you want to perform a sparse checkout, you must either do a
full clone and then recheckout, or do a git init, manually set up
sparse, and then fetch and checkout.
This patch implements easily accessible sparse checkouts during clone,
in the --sparse-checkout option.
$ git clone REPO --sparse-checkout PATH
