Originally, moving an in-cone <source> to an out-of-cone <destination>
was not possible, mainly because such <destination> is a directory that
is not present in the working tree.
Change the behavior so that we can move an in-cone <source> to
out-of-cone <destination> when --sparse is supplied.
Notice that <destination> can also be an out-of-cone file path, rather
than a directory.
Such <source> can be either clean or dirty, and moving it results in
different behaviors:
A clean move should move <source> to <destination> in the index (do
*not* create <destination> in the worktree), then delete <source> from
the worktree.
A dirty move should move the <source> to the <destination>, both in the
working tree and the index, but should *not* remove the resulted path
from the working tree and should *not* turn on its CE_SKIP_WORKTREE bit.
Optional reading
================
We are strict about cone mode when <destination> is a file path.
The reason is that some of the previous tests that use no-cone mode in
t7002 are keep breaking, mainly because the `dst_mode = SPARSE;` line
added in this patch.
Most features developed in both "from-out-to-in" and "from-in-to-out"
only care about cone mode situation, as no-cone mode is becoming
irrelevant. And because assigning `SPARSE` to `dst_mode` when the
repo is in no-cone mode causes miscellaneous bugs, we should just leave
this new functionality to be exclusive cone mode and save some time.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to
the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very
first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker"
and the name as (depending on your mood):
random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
