The sparse-checkout builtin used 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' to update the
skip-worktree bits in the index and to update the working directory.
This extra process is overly complex, and prone to failure. It also
requires that we write our changes to the sparse-checkout file before
trying to update the index.

Remove this extra process call by creating a direct call to
unpack_trees() in the same way 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' does. In
addition, provide an in-memory list of patterns so we can avoid
reading from the sparse-checkout file. This allows us to test a
proposed change to the file before writing to it.

Starting with this patch there is an issue with locking the index:

  $ git init
  Initialized empty Git repository in /home/szeder/src/git/tmp/SC/.git/
  $ >file
  $ git commit -m initial
  [master (root-commit) 5d80b9c] initial

   create mode 100644 file
  $ ls .git/index.lock

  $ git sparse-checkout set nope
  warning: core.sparseCheckout is disabled, so changes to the sparse-checkout file will have no effect

  error: Sparse checkout leaves no entry on working directory
  fatal: Unable to create '/home/szeder/src/git/tmp/SC/.git/index.lock':

  $ git add file

Forgot to copy that command...

I would add that building the previous patch and running the same
sequence of commands works, in the sense that 'git sparse-checkout
set' writes the non-existing filename to the 'sparse-checkout' file
and it prints the same two warnings, and doesn't (seem to) attempt to
update the working tree and the index.

Thank you for catching this! The issue is that I was not rolling the
index back on this kind of failed update, and then trying to replay
the "old" sparse-checkout hit the existing .git/index.lock file.

Here is the test I added that breaks on the current patch, but
passes when adding a rollback_lock_file() call:

test_expect_success 'revert to old sparse-checkout on empty update' '
	git init empty-test &&
	(
		echo >file &&
		git add file &&
		git commit -m "test" &&
		test_must_fail git sparse-checkout set nothing 2>err &&
		test_i18ngrep "Sparse checkout leaves no entry on working directory" err &&
		test_i18ngrep ! ".git/index.lock" err &&
		git sparse-checkout set file
	)
'

It also has the following problem: because we are setting the
patterns in-memory, this update acts like core.sparseCheckout is
enabled, even when it is not. So, I'm finally convinced that
the 'set' command should enable the config setting if it is
called even without 'init'.

Thanks,
