As another example in favor of imbuing "git worktree add" with first-class support for this feature (via command-line option and/or inheriting existing settings), the commit message of ef2a0ac9a0 (worktree: add: introduce --checkout option, 2016-03-29) specifically sites sparse checkout as the motivation for adding --no-checkout to "git worktree add".
