I would enable sparse checkout by default even for plumbing. Whether the
checkout area is sparse should always be governed by .git/info/sparse.
This way, existing scripts and aliases should automatically work in sparse
worktrees.
BTW, the name .git/info/sparse is perhaps a bit too technical in the sense
that only git developers know that this feature runs under the name
"sparse checkout". Perhaps it should be named
.git/info/indexonly
.git/info/nocheckout
or so.
