[PATCH 08/13] add: prevent adding sparse conflict files

From
Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Aug 24, 2021, 21:54 UTC
Message-ID
<f1764f9ed187a2f383bd8269e198192fe0486bda.1629842085.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1018.git.1629842085.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

When a merge results in a conflict outside of the sparse-checkout cone, the conflicted file is written to the working tree and the index entry loses the SKIP_WORKTREE bit. This allows users to add the file to the index without realizing that the file might leave the working tree in a later Git command.

Block this behavior, but keep in mind that the user can override the failure using the '--sparse' option.
