Subject: [PATCH 13/14] checkout: add new options to support sparse checkout

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2008 17:01:52 +0700

This patch adds main interface to manipulate sparse checkout.
New options are added to support entering/updating/leaving sparse
checkout:

 --full: return to full checkout (default)
 --reset-path: set checkout area according to given spec
 --add-path/--remove-path: adjust current sparse checkout area
