Are you using v2.33.0? This change is not in that version.

Hrm, it's an internal build that says v2.33.0 is the bsae, but the --sparse option
is available so who knows what's actually underneath the hood.  I can try vanilla
upstream builds if that would help narrow down the issue.

$ git version

Guessing from the e-mail address, perhaps you are using something
derived from the next branch of the day, maintained by Jonathan
Nieder's group, for internal consumption at Google.
