[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] Sparse checkout

["Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

Another RFC, which is more usable than the last series I sent out.
Compared to the last one, a few more patches have gone the way of
Dodo; 'git shape-workdir' has become a hook and should be easier
to write too. All you need is a few
"git update-index --[no-]assume-unchanged" in .git/hooks/sparse.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (4):
  Prevent diff machinery from examining assume-unchanged entries on
    worktree
  gitignore: read from index if .gitignore is assume-unchanged
  unpack_trees(): add support for sparse checkout
  read-tree: add --no-sparse to turn off sparse hook
