Subject: sparse checkout : ignore paths
To:     git@vger.kernel.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Sender: git-owner@vger.kernel.org

When we clone/ pull with : config core.sparsecheckout true

We can specify paths to include. Would be good to explicitly specify
paths to exclude too. So I can include want/
but exclude want/bin/

Similar to .git/info/sparse-checkout can we have a
.git/info/sparse-ignore-checkout optional file?

Logic would be to see if a path matches that is in
.git/info/sparse-checkout then see if its flagged in
.git/info/sparse-ignore-checkout , do not download if blocked in
.git/info/sparse-ignore-checkout. If the file does not exist, then
nothing ignored.
