I think this patch (slightly reframed) would be good to have independantly 
of the series; it also means that we won't do weird things if someone 
changes a file in the worktree which is marked as CE_VALID, and may well 
may CE_VALID sufficient for the index representation of paths outside the 
checkout.

It is a bit unclear which one you meant by "this patch", sorry.

"Prevent diff machinery from examining worktree outside sparse checkout", 
which (possibly in the next version) will prevent the diff machinery from 
examining worktree files for paths that are CE_VALID in the index.
