> Sparse checkout management made easy Nothing about the following paragraphs of text sounds intuitive or easy...

  It's a lot of words to say "use a special checkout command then run `git sparse-checkout set A/B/C`"

  It looks like a bunch of low-level machinery and primitives, which can be used to build more-intuitive tools.

    That's all of git!

      Sort of? For example I wouldn't call "git checkout" a primitive or low level, just really bad CLI design.

  I think this is similar to Mercurial's narrow clone: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/NarrowClonePlan https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/NarrowClonePlan This is very useful in a mono repo.
