Unfortunately, this patch only collects and displays the first untracked 
file for me.  It does not display all of the files that would be 
overwritten (desired behavior, IMHO).

This script illustrates:

#!/bin/sh

rm -Rf utest || exit 1
mkdir utest || exit 1
cd utest || exit 1
git init
git config core.sparseCheckout true
echo *>.git/info/sparse-checkout
echo tracked>a
git add a
git commit -m a a
git branch side
echo tracked>b
echo tracked>c
git add b c
git commit -m bc
cat b
git checkout side
cat b
echo untracked>b
echo untracked>c
cat b
git checkout master
cat b

Please add a test when you reroll this, hopefully with help from Joshua.

Thanks.

[PATCH v2 1/2] sparse checkout: show error messages when worktree shaping fails

[Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy]

verify_* functions can queue errors up and to be printed later at
label return_failed. In case of errors, do not go to label "done"
directly because all queued messages would be dropped on the floor.

I can confirm that this version of the patch works for me with multiple 
untracked files in a sparse checkout.
