Hi Elijah,

Please see answers below:

1.  H: 2.27m; S: 7.7k; Total: 2.28m

2.  Sure I will run 'reapply' after the sparse-checkout file has
changed. Just curious, do I have to run 'reapply' if 'checkout' is the
next immediate cmd? I thought 'checkout' does the updating index as
well

3.  I simply added one file only, 'git add' and 'git add --sparse'
still hang. Let me know if you need me to send you any debug info from
pathspec.c/dir.c

4.  Good to know and we are investigating if we have a way out from --no-cone

5.  I should've been clearer: The experiment done here uses 2.37.0

Thanks,
