Build Identifier: I20120608-1400 I'm working with EGit (2.0.201205130900, Eclipse 4.2.0, 64 bit Linux) on a pretty large project (30 sub projects, Repo size 2.6GB, Checkout size (without repo) 2.8 GB, 120000 files, 14000 directories). Performing a commit on the parent project or any of the sub projects takes 30 seconds or more before the commit message window appears. Don't know why this is so slow ("git commit" on the command line just needs a single second or less). Because this is so damn slow I configured a sparse-checkout in the Git configuration to drastically reduce the checkout size. This works pretty well, the commit window now appears after 2 seconds. But when I pull in some changes via EGit then the sparse-checkout configuration of Git is somehow disabled and all the ignored files are now counted as deleted. I have to fix this manually be re-running "git read-tree -m -u HEAD" or by pulling changes on the command line. Would be pretty nice if some support for sparse-checkout could be implemented in Egit. There is no need to implement a nice GUI to configure sparse-checkouts, it is enough to simply honor the existing settings instead of breaking it. Reproducible: Always
Hello When it is going to be implemente sparse checkout in JGit? I am asking as jenkins's user where Git plugin use JGit. Thank you in advance Regards Peter
yep, having the same issue here! using git from the CLI as a consequence for anything but commits due to the templating of the commit msg. provided by mylyn...
I have worked on a change (see Gerrit link) to implement sparse-checkout in JGit. This can make the checkout of a large repository a lot quicker (especially on a Windows OS). I am hoping this will go through to the build fairly soon.

Hi, We migrated from SVN to Git and use the sparse-checkout command very heavy. Can we help with the PR to go further with this feature implementation? Thanks! Sandra
