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.

Well, whatever place. I chose .git/config because I did not want to
introduce a new config place. But then how about .git/sparsecheckout?

 Ciao,
