[PATCH 7/7] unpack-trees: preserve index sparsity

Message-ID
<1daecbe45c1c3026b9eeb03d55a590c3c457a619.1650908958.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To

From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

When unpacking trees, set the default sparsity of the resultant index based on repo settings and 'is_sparse_index_allowed()'.

Normally, when executing 'unpack_trees', the output index is marked sparse when (and only when) it unpacks a sparse directory. However, an index may be "sparse" even if it contains no sparse directories - when all files fall inside the sparse-checkout definition or otherwise have SKIP_WORKTREE disabled. Therefore, the output index may be marked "full" even when it is "sparse", resulting in unnecessary 'ensure_full_index' calls when writing to disk. Avoid this by setting the "default" index sparsity to match what is expected for the repository.

As a consequence of this fix, the (non-merge) 'read-tree' performed when applying a stash with untracked files no longer expands the index. Update the corresponding test in 't1092'.
