I noticed a few months ago that work was being done on providing capability for sparse/narrow checkout. I was looking forward to using this feature, but I haven't seen any mention of it for a while. Is it still in the works? If so, is there an estimate of when it will be released?

Yes, I gathered from those posts that work was being done. But I don't see this feature in the latest stable release (1.6.1.3), so I was wondering whether it has been abandoned or whether I should be more patient. This feature would be useful to us, so I just wanted to make sure it hasn't fallen through the cracks...

I'm afraid the previous.

Quoting http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/104639:

And then it has been dropped indeed.
