Hi all.

I was just about to send a long message about using exclusions
in sparse-checkout, when I did one last search and saw that all
of my problems were fixed by using '/*' instead of '*' as the
first line in .git/info/sparse-checkout.

Might it make sense for the example in git-read-tree.html to be
updated to include the leading slash?

    /*
    !unwanted

This issue was fixed in 5e821231 (git-read-tree.txt: update sparse
checkout examples, 2011-09-26).

Cheers.

git tag -l --contains => v1.7.8-rc0

I'm running 1.7.7.1.msysgit.0, so I don't have it yet.
And neither do any of the online man pages I could find.

But I'm happy that it's fixed.  And the commit message is
better than what I would have come up with.

Thanks - Eric
