Update Git "Source Template" in Get Source Changes Step to execute a "git sparse-checkout" instead of a plain git command to checkout a repo

Hello, we are wondering if there is a way we can use the Git "Source Template" to execute a "git sparse-checkout" instead of a plain git command to checkout a repo. This is in the 'Get Source Changes' step where its being used. We have a Git repo that users add folders to, the folder names are their user name. We need a way to checkout only the users folder in our build process, not the entire repo with all users folders.

    Hi Aric, can you please let me know if this RFE would still be helpful to you at American Family? We can take another look at this to see if the feature is no longer "experimental". If so, we can work on this RFE to implement it. Please let us know.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
