Yeah, it worries me, too. Does the fix to make sure the sparse stuff won't be broken apply equally to assume-unchanged? Does the series have such fixes to assume-unchanged bit as well?

By the way, I think the first patch in the earlier series, 540e694 (Prevent diff machinery from examining assume-unchanged entries on worktree, 2009-08-11), is a good change regardless of the sparse implementation, and I'm inclined to say that we should merge that part (and I suspect there will be similar fixes to really ignore differences to CE_VALID entries) first and then queue this new series on top.
