Unfortunately, this patch only collects and displays the first untracked 
file for me.  It does not display all of the files that would be 
overwritten (desired behavior, IMHO).

This script illustrates:

#!/bin/sh

rm -Rf utest || exit 1
mkdir utest || exit 1
cd utest || exit 1
git init
git config core.sparseCheckout true
echo *>.git/info/sparse-checkout
echo tracked>a
git add a
git commit -m a a
git branch side
echo tracked>b
echo tracked>c
git add b c
git commit -m bc
cat b
git checkout side
cat b
echo untracked>b
echo untracked>c
cat b
git checkout master
cat b
