+sparse.expectFilesOutsideOfPatterns::
+ Typically with sparse checkouts, files not matching any
+ sparsity patterns are marked with a SKIP_WORKTREE bit in the
+ index and are missing from the working tree. Accordingly, Git
+ will ordinarily check whether files with the SKIP_WORKTREE bit
+ are in fact present in the working tree contrary to
+ expectations. If Git finds any, it marks those paths as
+ present by clearing the relevant SKIP_WORKTREE bits. This
+ option can be used to tell Git that such
+ present-despite-skipped files are expected and to stop
+ checking for them.
++
+The default is `false`, which allows Git to automatically recover
+from the list of files in the index and working tree falling out of
+sync.
++
+Set this to `true` if you are in a setup where some external factor
+relieves Git of the responsibility for maintaining the consistency
+between the presence of working tree files and sparsity patterns. For
+example, if you have a Git-aware virtual file system that has a robust
+mechanism for keeping the working tree and the sparsity patterns up to
+date based on access patterns.
++
+Regardless of this setting, Git does not check for
+present-despite-skipped files unless sparse checkout is enabled, so
+this config option has no effect unless `core.sparseCheckout` is
+`true`.
