+Narrow checkout
+---------------
+
+Normally when you do checkout a branch, your working directory
+will be fully populated. In some situations, you just need to
+work on certain files, no full checkout is required. Narrow
+checkout is a mode that limits checkout area according to your
+rules.
+
+Because narrow checkout uses new index format, it will be
+incompatible with git prior to 1.6.0. In order to make your
+working directory work with those versions, you can use `git
+checkout --full` to return to normal mode (and compatible index
+format).
+
+Narrow works by applying your rules to the index, marking which
+file you need and which file you need not. Modified/Unmerged
+files cannot be marked unneeded. Unnecessary files will be
+removed from working directory.  Note that after this step,
+removed files can still be added to working directory when they
+are needed by any git command. For example, when you have a merge
+conflict, conflicted files will be checked out on working
+directory and will no longer be marked "unneeded".
+
+New files after merges will always be "needed". You can also
+apply rules when switching branches to avoid unwanted new files.
+
+Files that are marked "no-checkout" will be treated like entries
+with "assume-unchanged bit" (see linkgit:git-update-index[1]). In
+short, Git will never look for those files in working directory
+no matter whether they exist in working directory.
+
+You can apply your rules at once with --path option, or do it
+incrementally with --add-path and --remove-path.
+
+Narrow spec will be used to specify how you want to narrow your
+checkout. It is a list of pathspecs separated by colons. Each
+patchspec specifies what files should be checked out on working
+directory. Pathspec can contain wildcards and is relative to
+current working directory. Usually asterisk (*) does not match
+slashes. If a pathspec is prefixed by a plus sign (+), then
+any asterisk will match anything, even slashes.
