[PATCH v5 3/4] sparse-index: add ensure_correct_sparsity function

From: Victoria Dye via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date: Nov 23, 2021, 00:20 UTC
Message-ID: <d2133ca1724258be01d7d2c3ac4888cd67eb3642.1637626833.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.1059.v5.git.1637626833.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

The `ensure_correct_sparsity` function is intended to provide a means of aligning the in-core index with the sparsity required by the repository settings and other properties of the index. The function first checks whether a sparse index is allowed (per repository & sparse checkout pattern settings). If the sparse index may be used, the index is converted to sparse; otherwise, it is explicitly expanded with `ensure_full_index`.
