What
The worktree sync step that writes merged state now forces sparse checkout off for its own git call, so a repository using sparse checkout no longer ends up with only part of the synced state written.
Details
The read-tree --reset -u call gains core.sparseCheckout=false, core.sparseCheckoutCone=false and index.sparse=false.
Unconditional on that code path; no flag involved.
Evidence
core.sparseCheckoutCone=false
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
