Re: [PATCH v6 5/6] worktree: copy sparse-checkout patterns and config on add

> When adding a new worktree, it is reasonable to expect that we want to
> use the current set of sparse-checkout settings for that new worktree.
> This is particularly important for repositories where the worktree would
> become too large to be useful. This is even more important when using
> partial clone as well, since we want to avoid downloading the missing
> blobs for files that should not be written to the new worktree.
