To avoid touching the worktree outside a sparse checkout, when the update flag is enabled unpack_trees() clears the CE_UPDATE and CE_REMOVE flags on entries that do not match the sparse pattern before actually committing any updates to the index file or worktree. The effect on the index was unintentional; sparse checkout was never meant to prevent index updates outside the area checked out. And the result is very confusing: for example, after a failed merge, currently "git reset --hard" does not reset the state completely but an additional "git reset --mixed" will. So stop clearing the CE_REMOVE flag. Instead, maintain a CE_WT_REMOVE flag to separately track whether a particular file removal should apply to the worktree in addition to the index or not. The CE_WT_REMOVE flag is used already to mark files that should be removed because of a narrowing checkout area. That usage will still apply; do not clear the CE_WT_REMOVE flag in that case (detectable because the CE_REMOVE flag is not set). This bug masked some other bugs illustrated by the test suite, which will be addressed by later patches.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
