This corrects for case mismatched filenames in the 'git sparse-checkout set' command to reflect the expected cone in the working directory. +When changing the sparse-checkout patterns in cone mode, Git will inspect each +tracked directory that is not within the sparse-checkout cone to see if it +contains any untracked files. If all of those files are ignored due to the +`.gitignore` patterns, then the directory will be deleted. If any of the +untracked files within that directory is not ignored, then no deletions will +occur within that directory and a warning message will appear. If these files +are important, then reset your sparse-checkout definition so they are included, +use `git add` and `git commit` to store them, then remove any remaining files +manually to ensure Git can behave optimally. + SUBMODULES ---------- |
