 * nd/sparse (2009-08-20) 19 commits.

 The latest update I didn't look at very closely but I had an impression
 that it was touching very generic codepath that would affect non sparse
 cases, iow the patch looked very scary (the entire series already is).

I wonder if there is any other approach for sparse checkout? I'll see
if I can improve it, but with a series touching unpack logic, diff
core, .gitattributes/.gitignore, it's hard to get it right and
obvious.

Just FYI: I run some of my installations with this series, but without
using sparse checkout to see if there are regressions. Nothing came up so
 far.
