Merge branch 'ds/sparse-cone' into pu

Management of sparsely checked-out working tree has gained a
dedicated "sparse-checkout" command.

Seems not to play well with the hashmap updates.

* ds/sparse-cone:
  sparse-checkout: cone mode should not interact with .gitignore
  sparse-checkout: write using lockfile
  sparse-checkout: update working directory in-process
  sparse-checkout: sanitize for nested folders
  read-tree: show progress by default
  unpack-trees: add progress to clear_ce_flags()
  unpack-trees: hash less in cone mode
  sparse-checkout: init and set in cone mode
  sparse-checkout: use hashmaps for cone patterns
  sparse-checkout: add 'cone' mode
  trace2: add region in clear_ce_flags
  sparse-checkout: create 'disable' subcommand
  sparse-checkout: add '--stdin' option to set subcommand
  sparse-checkout: 'set' subcommand
  clone: add --sparse mode
  sparse-checkout: create 'init' subcommand
  sparse-checkout: create builtin with 'list' subcommand

+=======================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-sparse-checkout - Initialize and modify the sparse-checkout
+configuration, which reduces the checkout to a set of directories
+given by a list of prefixes.
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git sparse-checkout <subcommand> [options]'
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Initialize and modify the sparse-checkout configuration, which reduces
+the checkout to a set of directories given by a list of prefixes.
+
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+'list'::
+	Provide a list of the contents in the sparse-checkout file.
+
+'init'::
+	Enable the `core.sparseCheckout` setting. If the
+	sparse-checkout file does not exist, then populate it with
+	patterns that match every file in the root directory and
+	no other directories, then will remove all directories tracked
+	by Git. Add patterns to the sparse-checkout file to
+	repopulate the working directory.
++
+The init subcommand also enables the 'extensions.worktreeConfig' setting
+and sets the `core.sparseCheckout` setting in the worktree-specific config
+file. This prevents the sparse-checkout feature from interfering with other
+worktrees.
+
+'set'::
+	Write a set of patterns to the sparse-checkout file, as given as
+	a list of arguments following the 'set' subcommand. Update the
+	working directory to match the new patterns.
+
+'disable'::
+	Remove the sparse-checkout file, set `core.sparseCheckout` to
+	`false`, and restore the working directory to include all files.
+
+SPARSE CHECKOUT
+----------------
+
+"Sparse checkout" allows populating the working directory sparsely.
+It uses the skip-worktree bit (see linkgit:git-update-index[1]) to tell
+Git whether a file in the working directory is worth looking at. If
+the skip-worktree bit is set, then the file is ignored in the working
+directory. Git will not populate the contents of those files, which
+makes a sparse checkout helpful when working in a repository with many
+files, but only a few are important to the current user.
+
+The `$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout` file is used to define the
+skip-worktree reference bitmap. When Git updates the working
+directory, it updates the skip-worktree bits in the index based
+ont this file. The files matching the patterns in the file will
+appear in the working directory, and the rest will not.
+
+To enable the sparse-checkout feature, run `git sparse-checkout init` to
+initialize a simple sparse-checkout file and enable the `core.sparseCheckout`
+config setting. Then, run `git sparse-checkout set` to modify the patterns in
+the sparse-checkout file.
+
+To repopulate the working directory with all files, use the
+`git sparse-checkout disable` command.
+
+## FULL PATTERN SET
+
+By default, the sparse-checkout file uses the same syntax as `.gitignore`
+files.
+
+While `$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout` is usually used to specify what
+files are included, you can also specify what files are _not_ included,
+using negative patterns. For example, to remove the file `unwanted`:
+
+----------------
+/*
+!unwanted
+----------------
+
+
+## CONE PATTERN SET
+
+The full pattern set allows for arbitrary pattern matches and complicated
+inclusion/exclusion rules. These can result in O(N*M) pattern matches when
+updating the index, where N is the number of patterns and M is the number
+of paths in the index. To combat this performance issue, a more restricted
+pattern set is allowed when `core.spareCheckoutCone` is enabled.
+
+The accepted patterns in the cone pattern set are:
+
+1. *Recursive:* All paths inside a directory are included.
+
+2. *Parent:* All files immediately inside a directory are included.
+
+In addition to the above two patterns, we also expect that all files in the
+root directory are included. If a recursive pattern is added, then all
+leading directories are added as parent patterns.
+
+By default, when running `git sparse-checkout init`, the root directory is
+added as a parent pattern. At this point, the sparse-checkout file contains
+the following patterns:
+
+```
+/*
+!/*/
+```
+
+This says "include everything in root, but nothing two levels below root."
+If we then add the folder `A/B/C` as a recursive pattern, the folders `A` and
+`A/B` are added as parent patterns. The resulting sparse-checkout file is
+now
+
+```
+/*
+!/*/
+/A/
+!/A/*/
+/A/B/
+!/A/B/*/
+/A/B/C/
+```
+
+Here, order matters, so the negative patterns are overridden by the positive
+patterns that appear lower in the file.
+
+If `core.sparseCheckoutCone=true`, then Git will parse the sparse-checkout file
+expecting patterns of these types. Git will warn if the patterns do not match.
+If the patterns do match the expected format, then Git will use faster hash-
+based algorithms to compute inclusion in the sparse-checkout.
