> The sparse-checkout file is specific to each worktree, which allows you
to control "sparsity" on a worktree by worktree basis. Therefore, you
should create $GIT_DIR/worktrees/<id>/info/sparse-checkout instead
(where <id> is "new-branch" in your example).

Right this seems to work indeed.
Thank you.

Would it help if this was added to the documentation of git-read-tree
