I would like the sparse-Checkout functionality added to libgit2sharp. Without it, I can't currently operate on the git repository. We have a repository not created by me, that has several thousand projects in it, and I need the ability to extract one or maybe a couple projects when the user does something. I cannot bring out the entire respository, because this is a multi-user system, and we have hundreds of people commiting to this repostory. Each working on their own project. When time comes, I need to get just one project out, so we can do some things with it.

Is this something that is planned to be added soon to libgit2sharp?

Thanks

James

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating LibGit2Sharp's checkout-related API and determine how sparse-checkout should select one or more projects from a large repository. Done means the requested sparse-Checkout functionality is available for this use case and its behavior is covered by suitable tests.
