sparse-checkout support
I would like sparse-checkout support in order to make working with large repositories (e.g., monorepos) manageable.
GitKraken is approximately 5-10x slower than cli for a large repository that I use (~1.5 GB). It is painful to use.

WillWe currently have a repo with filenames containing the question mark '?' character used for deploying icons for an iPhone app.

When checking out the repo on Windows, we exclude these files via the `sparse-checkout` feature. However, when opening the repo in GitKraken, it does not recognize that sparse checkout i sbeing used and reports all the excluded files as having been deleted.
This effectively means I cannot use GitKraken to manage this repo, at all -

Julian-OSimilar to Will, I am dealing with a repository with a directory called "aux". Windows cannot handle it, and Kraken won't let me use sparse-checkout to avoid the problem files.

Dragon1573I'm currently working on https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs , with sparse-checkout no more than 1% of files. When working in Git Bash or Powershell Core 7 (Oh My Posh enabled), "git fetch" and "git merge" are fast enough (around 5～10 sec) for me. While performing "git merge" action in GitKraken Client, it totally stuck for over 10 min!

WarethisWe use git for deployment but I manage our repos exclusively with Gitkraken. Now, our deployment and management processes are going to start using sparse-checkout by the end of the year. I do not want to leave Gitkraken.
