You can do that with "git checkout --path" (non-recursive checkout aside):

My point was not that incremental checkout is impossible, just that it
 would be easier if I didn't have to re-type the full path list again.
 Suppose I had 9 directories (A/B1 through A/B9) in my sparse checkout,
 and I wanted to add a 10th directory (A/B10).  It would be much easier
 to type something like

 $ cd A
 $ git checkout B10

 instead of

 $ git checkout --path=A/B1:A/B2:A/B3:A/B4:A/B5:A/B6:A/B7:A/B8:A/B9:A/B10

"git checkout B10" form has already been taken. How about "git
checkout --add-path" and "git checkout --remove-path"?
