While I was playing with this patch, I did the following:

echo a >a
echo b >b
git add .
git commit -m files
git sparse-checkout set a
echo c >c
git add c

And the last `git add` was successful in adding the untracked `c` file
which is outside the sparse checkout. I'm not sure if I'm doing
something wrong, but it seems that `path_in_sparse_checkout()` returns
UNDECIDED for `c`. Is it because there was no pattern in the list
explicitly excluding it? And if so, should we consider UNDECIDED as
NOT_MATCHED for `path_in_sparse_checkout()`?

Please disconsider this, It was my fault indeed. I had applied the
patches onto the wrong base. Now I fetched them again but from the GGG
tag, and my manual test worked as expected.
