<pull.1914.v2.git.1747407330.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

Similar to the previous change for 'git add -p', the reset builtin checked for integration with the sparse index after possibly redirecting its logic toward the interactive logic. This means that the builtin would expand the sparse index to a full one upon read.

Move this check earlier within cmd_reset() to improve performance here.

Add tests to guarantee that we are not universally expanding the index. Add behavior tests to check that we are doing the same operations as a full index.
