[PATCH 23/23] sparse checkout: inhibit empty worktree

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

The way sparse checkout works, users may empty their worktree
completely, because of non-matching sparse-checkout spec, or empty
spec. I believe this is not desired. This patch makes Git refuse to
produce such worktree.
