[PATCH 0/2] Sparse Index: diff and blame builtins

["Lessley Dennington via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

This series is based on vd/sparse-reset. It integrates the sparse index with
git diff and git blame and includes:

 1. tests added to t1092 and p2000 to establish the baseline functionality
    of the commands
 2. repository settings to enable the sparse index

The p2000 tests demonstrate a ~30% execution time reduction for 'git diff'
and a ~75% execution time reduction for 'git diff --staged' using a sparse
index. For 'git blame', the reduction time was ~60% for a file two levels
deep and ~30% for a file three levels deep.
