hi,

is there some way that cloning a sparse checkout can also clone the
sparsity of the checkout?

No. The sparsity is a property of worktree, it can't be cloned.

currently, when cloning, I have to set up the sparsity on each cloned
repository, after fetching
by providing something like a shell script for each 'view' of the repository
just wondering if there was a way to make this a transferrable property.

I have a similar problem (transferring remote.* by cloning). Maybe we
could extend git protocol a little bit to allow these customizations?
