 <div class="paragraph"><p>When <code>--cone</code> is provided, the <code>core.sparseCheckoutCone</code> setting is

 also set, allowing for better performance with a limited set of

 patterns (see <em>CONE PATTERN SET</em> below).</p></div>

+<div class="paragraph"><p>Use the <code>--[no-]sparse-index</code> option to toggle the use of the sparse

+index format. This reduces the size of the index to be more closely

+aligned with your sparse-checkout definition. This can have significant

+performance advantages for commands such as <code>git status</code> or <code>git add</code>.

+This feature is still experimental. Some commands might be slower with

+a sparse index until they are properly integrated with the feature.</p></div>

+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>WARNING:</strong> Using a sparse index requires modifying the index in a way

+that is not completely understood by external tools. If you have trouble

+with this compatibility, then run <code>git sparse-checkout init --no-sparse-index</code>

+to rewrite your index to not be sparse. Older versions of Git will not

+understand the sparse directory entries index extension and may fail to

+interact with your repository until it is disabled.</p></div>
