+`git sparse-checkout set` to expand the set of directories you want to see,
+or `git sparse-checkout disable` to expand to all files (see
+linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1] for more details). You can explore the
+subdirectories outside your sparse-checkout by using `git ls-tree HEAD`.
Should this be `git ls-tree [-r] HEAD`?  Do you expect people to just
add directories that are found immediately under the toplevel, rather
than some that are a bit deeper?
