This series fixes some issues with parsing sparse-checkout patterns when
core.sparseCheckoutCone is enabled but the sparse-checkout file itself
contains patterns that don't match the cone mode format.

The first patch fixes a segfault first reported in [1]. The other two
patches are from an earlier submission [2] that never got picked up and I
lost track of. There was another patch involving 'git sparse-checkout init
--cone' that isn't necessary, especially with Elijah doing some work in that
space right now.

Thanks.  The segfault fix matters even more with Elijah's "we can
flip between modes" feature, right?

Generally, I think segfaults are a higher priority, but this one is hard
to find in the wild, I think. I'll send a v4 today and hopefully it makes
it an easy decision for you.

Thanks,

I agree about the priority and I was assuming that the topics do not
have semantic conflicts we cannot reconcile, but I do not offhand
recall what the other topic did when there patterns unsuitable in
the cone mode when transitioning to the cone mode (or vice-versa for
that matter).
