Re: [RFC PATCH 00/12] Sparse checkout

Hi,

So in short, sparse prefix will be stored in config, core.sparsecheckout.

Do you really think the prefix should be stored anywhere else than the 
index?

With core.sparseCheckout you have to introduce a _sh*tload_ of config 
loaders.

And with core.sparseCheckout you are at the whim of the user, since 
.git/config is _supposed_ to be user-editable.

From a logical point of view, I'd say that the sparse prefix has nothing 

to do with the "configuration" of the local repository.
