In git 2.27.0 sparse-checkout doesn't seem to work the same as it did in 2.25.0:

 
Version: git version 2.27.0.windows.1 (the same behavior occurs on 2.27.0 on
linux too)

Commands: -git clone git@repo.com:user/repo <mailto:git@repo.com:user/repo> --no-checkout --depth 1 sparse-repo

-cd sparse-repo
-git sparse-checkout init
-git sparse-checkout add packages
 
Expected behavior (as seen in 0.25):

-ls packages

The packages directory is checked out and available the repo root.
Current behavior
-ls
 
No packages directory is checked out and the root is empty.
