 I'm not sure if rejecting --sparse when it has no effects (e.g.
 switching branches or interactive mode) like this patch does is a
 good idea. I think it's good in general to spot unused options. On
 the other hand, people may want to add an alias
 "co = checkout --sparse" to make this behavior "default". In that
 case silently ignoring --sparse may be a good idea.
