I think this one is ready to go. Elijah chimed in on the latest version, too.

This also means that perhaps we could start tracking the sparse index integrations with merge, rebase, cherry-pick, and revert [1]? This series has also had quite a bit of review, but the latest version has not had an ack.

I also plan to send a new version of the --sparse RFC [2], which is based on [1]. I don't want to get too far ahead of what the community has capacity to review.
