I tried to (re)adjust Derrick's ds/sparse-checkout-clean topic to
build directly on top of 'master', which involved removing its first
step to make it depend on the global core_apply_sparse_checkout and
core_sparse_checkout_cone variables, which was not too bad.

The result is queued on 'seen' I just pushed out.  Derrick, could
you take a look to see if I screwed up any?  At least it seems to
pass the tests locally.

I've ejected the ac/deglobal-sparse-variables topic from 'seen' for
now, but perhaps it may want to be rebased on Derrick's series when
it is rerolled.  We'll see how fast the sparse-checkout-clean topic
can enter 'next' and graduate, hopefully soon enough.

Thanks.
