[PATCH v3 0/2] Sparse Index: diff and blame builtins

["Lessley Dennington via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

This series is based on vd/sparse-reset. It integrates the sparse index with
git diff and git blame and includes:

 1. tests added to t1092 and p2000 to establish the baseline functionality
    of the commands
 2. repository settings to enable the sparse index

The p2000 tests demonstrate a ~30% execution time reduction for 'git diff'
and a ~75% execution time reduction for 'git diff --staged' using a sparse
index. For 'git blame', the reduction time was ~60% for a file two levels
deep and ~30% for a file three levels deep.

Changes since V1
================

 * Fix failing diff partially-staged test in
   t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh, which was breaking in seen.


Changes since V2
================

 * Update diff commit description to include patches that make the checkout
   and status commands work with the sparse index for readers to reference.
 * Add new test case to verify diff behaves as expected when run against
   files outside the sparse checkout cone.
 * Indent error message in blame commit
 * Check error message in blame with pathspec outside sparse definition test
   matches expectations.
 * Loop blame tests (instead of running the same command multiple time
   against different files).

Thanks, Lessley

 1:  ac33159d020 ! 1:  991aaad37b4 diff: enable and test the sparse index
     @@ Commit message
          Enable the sparse index within the 'git diff' command. Its implementation
          already safely integrates with the sparse index because it shares code with
          the 'git status' and 'git checkout' commands that were already integrated.
     +    For more details see:
     +
     +    d76723ee53 (status: use sparse-index throughout, 2021-07-14)
     +    1ba5f45132 (checkout: stop expanding sparse indexes, 2021-06-29)
     +
          The most interesting thing to do is to add tests that verify that 'git diff'
          behaves correctly when the sparse index is enabled. These cases are:
