Hi Victoria,

Just found an interesting (probably) behavior.

In the `sparse-checkout` directory created in `init_repos()` in t1092, if I
say:

$ mkdir folder3
$ touch folder3/a
$ git mv folder3/a deep

and git will prompt:

"fatal: not under version control, source=folder3/a, destination=deep/a"

And if I say:

$ git mv folder3 deep

git will prompt:

"fatal: source directory is empty, source=folder3, destination=deep/folder3"

What I am wondering is that file `folder3/a` is outside of sparse-checkout cone,
should `git mv` instead prompts with `advise_on_updating_sparse_paths()` or this
"not under version control" alarm is acceptable?
