Subject: sparse checkout using exclusions
Message-ID: <4EAB4632.5080101@nextest.com>

Hi all.

I was just about to send a long message about using exclusions
in sparse-checkout, when I did one last search and saw that all
of my problems were fixed by using '/*' instead of '*' as the
first line in .git/info/sparse-checkout.

Might it make sense for the example in git-read-tree.html to be
updated to include the leading slash?

    /*
    !unwanted
