I'm not sure about the value here. prepare_repo_settings() returns
quickly if the settings have already been prepared, so a second call
is negligible in cost.

The change presented here to either call set_sparse_index_config()
_or_ prepare_repo_settings() seems like it knows too much about
how set_sparse_index_config() works.
