Summary
The pattern of editing a file in a sparse-checkouted branch and doing a commit -> push worked.
However, when I run switch branch from the sparse-checkouted branch, I get the error worktree contains unstaged changes.
If I check the status in worktree.Status(), I see that the unchecked out files are marked as deleted.
When I run the git status command on the sparse-checkouted directory in go-git, I get working tree clean. I think the cause is that go-git's worktree.Status does not take sparse-checkout into account.
Test Repository
I have prepared a Repository with files arranged as follows.
[go-git-test(main =)] $ tree
.
├── README.md
├── dir1
│ └── test.txt
├── dir2
│ └── test.txt
├── dir3
│ └── test.txt
└── root.txt
