Hello,

I have a question about sparse checkout. Git version 2.17.1 For some reason it checks out files from not specified folders. My .git/info/sparse-checkout has two lines:

frontend/ common/

However backend/ is also created with some files in it (not all)

Is it a known bug? Any workaround to have only desired frontend/ and common/ checked out?

Thanks, Konstantin.
