Ever since 'git sparse-checkout' was introduced [1] it is included in
'git --help' in the section "work on the current change" along with
the commands 'add', 'mv', 'restore', and 'rm'.  It clearly doesn't
belong to that group, moreover it can't be considered such a common
command to belong to 'git --help' in the first place, so remove it
from there.

I actually spotted this in `git --help` just the other day and reacted
along the same line. So for what it's worth, this patch makes sense to
me.

Incidentally, this drops quite some indentation in `git --help` (because
"sparse-checkout" is by far the longest subcommand listed there). After
this patch, we're back within 80 columns again.
