[PATCH v2 0/7] Sparse index: integrate with commit and checkout

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

This series extends our integration of sparse-index to 'git commit' and 'git
checkout'.

This is based on ds/status-with-sparse-index (v7) and v2.32.0. The hard work
was already done in that topic, so these changes are simple.

Recall that we have delayed our integration with 'git add' until we can work
out the concerns about how to deal with pathspecs outside of the
sparse-checkout definition. Those concerns might have some overlap with how
'git commit' takes a pathspec, but this seems like a rare enough case to
handle here and we can be more careful with the behavior change in the next
series which will integrate with git add.

In addition to the tests that already exist in t1092, I have integrated
these changes in microsoft/git and tested them against the Scalar functional
tests, which go through quite a few complicated scenarios, verifying that
things work the same across the full index and sparse-index cases.


Update in V2
============

 * There is no change to the code, but it is presented in a slightly
   different order.
 * We've been discussing some complicated directory/file conflict cases, in
   particular with a staged change inside the directory. These tests are
   added and described as documenting incorrect behavior that should be
   changed.
 * After those tests are in place, we can motivate the change to
   twoway_merge() as necessary for a more-common situation (still rare) but
   still incorrect in an already-broken situation. Hopefully that balance is
   sufficient for now, until we can do the bigger work of fixing the bad
   behavior.

Thanks, -Stolee
