Bug: .git/info/sparse-checkout: No such file or directory

[hinricht]

I'm trying to add a git helm repo URL including a branch. It works, but I get this debug message:

./helm-git-plugin.sh: line 113: .git/info/sparse-checkout: No such file or directory

• helm-git version: 0.14.3
• helm version: v3.11.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install latest helm-git
2. Run helm --kube-context mastodon-dev repo add mastodon "git+https://github.com/hinricht/chart@.?ref=fix_streaming_route" --force-update

Link to chart repository: https://github.com/hinricht/chart/tree/fix_streaming_route

The current behavior

The helm repo is added fine, but the debug messages indicate sth is wrong on the way:

"mastodon" has been added to your repositories

The expected behavior

helm-git should not complain about non-existing files.

Hello @hinricht, you should be able to disable sparse checkout in the meantime like this:

git+https://github.com/hinricht/chart@.?ref=fix_streaming_route&sparse=0

I guess you're issue is linked to https://github.com/aslafy-z/helm-git/issues/9. Can you share your Git version?

Hey @varac, can you please try with helm plugin install https://github.com/aslafy-z/helm-git --version 5683385eae278be4709838fdc622513f5d97d947? Thank you
