Hi,
Please see http://pastebin.com/zMXvvXuy
It shows that if the .git/info/sparsecheckout file is in windows format (windows line ending) then it doesn't work.
Thanks for any advice.
This is git 1.8.3.msysgit.0

And it does work for me with CRLF endings (again tested on Linux). Can you send me your sparse-checkout file? Zip it if needed. I just wanted to make sure there's no weird visible characters there. If none is found, then I don't know what causes your problem. Perhaps msys guys can help.

Hi Duy,
Thanks again for taking a look at these two reports.
>> And it does work for me with CRLF endings (again tested on Linux).
Yes, will do.
I will try, myself, on Linux, as well. It seems quite conceivable its the sort of thing that only happens under Windows.

Martin

sparse-checkout created with
echo /CONFIGURATION > .git\info\sparse-checkout
on Windows.
Attached file created with
tar cvzf sparsecheckout.tar.gz .git/info/sparse-checkout
in gitbash shell on Windows.

Martin
