[PATCH 13/13] advice: update message to suggest '--sparse'

From: Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-24 21:55:10
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Derrick Stolee <redacted>

The previous changes modified the behavior of 'git add', 'git rm', and
'git mv' to not adjust paths outside the sparse-checkout cone, even if
they exist in the working tree and their cache entries lack the
SKIP_WORKTREE bit. The intention is to warn users that they are doing
something potentially dangerous. The '--sparse' option was added to each
command to allow careful users the same ability they had before.

To improve the discoverability of this new functionality, add a message
to advice.updateSparsePath that mentions the existence of the option.
