Yes, if only the default pattern gets updated properly when you update your checkout area. If "git clone --sparse-checkout" makes the default pattern, then "git checkout --reset-sparse" should reset the default pattern as well. The hard part is how to update default pattern with --include-sparse and --exclude-sparse. Also, people can use "git update-index" to update checkout area, which should not touch default pattern at all. Maybe just throw a warning when default pattern no longer matches the checkout area, then let them decide.
