<pull.1970.git.git.1747827645129.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Alex Mironov <alexandrfox@gmail.com>

Similarly to 5f116695864788d1fe45ff06bfad7a71a8d98d0a make sure to avoid placing sparse directories into the name_hash hashtable whenever multithreaded initialization is performed.

Sparse directory entries represent a directory that is outside the sparse-checkout definition. These are not paths to blobs, so should not be added to the name_hash table as they must never be queried.
