Update "Git Source Control" Plugin to use Sparse Clone for Component version creation

Currently the plugin will clone an entire repository regardless if the include/exclude parameters when creating a new component version.

This means that the the entire repository is cloned to the agent directory before then making use of the includes/exclude parameters to determine what to include in the version.

In our case this means that we require to clone 340,000 files locally (~500Mb) when the include parameters may limit the elements to be included to 100-200.

    git sparse checkout has been experimental for at least 12 years, and there are other vendor products that happily exploit the capability. It's use would massively improve the performance on UCD when large repos are involved.

    Can you please review this decision.

    git-sparse-checkout:

    THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. ITS BEHAVIOR, AND THE BEHAVIOR OF OTHER COMMANDS IN THE PRESENCE OF SPARSE-CHECKOUTS, WILL LIKELY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE.


    As we cannot support experimental features of git this feature will be considered for future releases as soon as git officially supports sparse checkouts
