If commands like merge or rebase materialize files as part of their work,
or a previous sparse-checkout command failed to update individual files
due to dirty changes, users may want a command to simply 'reapply' the
sparsity rules.  Provide one.

I feel it necessary to commend you for how simple this patch is.
You did all the hard work in earlier patches to make this one
extremely simple.

Nice!
