That's something you need to ask Duy, I think, as it was introduced at e663db2f ("unpack-trees(): add CE_WT_REMOVE to remove on worktree alone", 2009-08-20) and was added for the sparse checkout stuff.

During my review of the series that added the feature, I only had time to make sure that the patches do not change the behaviour when it is not in use, ignoring the other side of "if" statement that checked ce_skip_worktree(ce) ;-)
