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.

That is already possible by using "negative patterns", i.e. patterns
preceded by an exclamation point.
Ciao,
