Question: Would we actually need sparse checkouts? What if c-c was just a branch in the repo with extra stuff, which periodically took merges from m-c?
That makes bisecting to find m-c-induced failures harder, and it also makes atomic commits (even for c-c contributors who want to make changes to m-c that affect both, such as myself) impossible still.
Obviously, I'm biased, but I still think that even that change would not ease up the difficulty of attracting new contributors, nor would it really solve the apparent goal of making c-c code invisible to m-c developers, since you'd see it if you accidentally checked out the default branch when tip was c-c and not m-c.
