The set and add subcommands accept multiple positional arguments.
The meaning of these arguments differs slightly in the two modes:
Cone mode only accepts directories. If given a file, it would
previously treat it as a directory, causing not just the file itself to
be included but all sibling files as well -- likely against users'
expectations. Throw an error if the specified path is a file in the
index. Provide a --skip-checks argument to allow users to override
(e.g. for the case when the given path IS a directory on another
branch).
Non-cone mode accepts general gitignore patterns. There are many
reasons to avoid this mode, but one possible reason to use it instead of
cone mode: to be able to select individual files within a directory.
However, if a file is passed to set/add in non-cone mode, you won't be
selecting a single file, you'll be selecting a file with the same name
in any directory. Thus users will likely want to prefix any paths they
specify with a leading '/' character; warn users if the patterns they
specify exactly name a file because it means they are likely missing
such a leading slash.

In cone mode, non-option arguments to set & add are clearly paths, and
as such, we should pay attention to prefix.
In non-cone mode, it is not clear that folks intend to provide paths
since the inputs are gitignore-style patterns. Paying attention to
prefix would prevent folks from doing things like
git sparse-checkout add /.gitattributes
git sparse-checkout add '/toplevel-dir/*'
In fact, the former will result in
fatal: '/.gitattributes' is outside repository...
while the later will result in
fatal: Invalid path '/toplevel-dir': No such file or directory
despite the fact that both are valid gitignore-style patterns that would
select real files if added to the sparse-checkout file. This might lead
people to just use the path without the leading slash, potentially
resulting in them grabbing files with the same name throughout the
directory hierarchy contrary to their expectations. See also [1] and
[2]. Adding prefix seems to just be fraught with error; so for now
simply throw an error in non-cone mode when sparse-checkout set/add are
run from a subdirectory.

commit f2e3a218e8 ("sparse-checkout: enable `set` to initialize
sparse-checkout mode", 2021-12-14) made the `set` command able to
initialize sparse-checkout mode, but it also had to function when
sparse-checkout mode was already setup and the user just wanted to
change the sparsity paths. So, if the user passed --cone or --no-cone,
then we should override the current setting, but if they didn't pass
either, we should use whatever the current cone mode setting is.
Unfortunately, there was a small error in the logic in that it would not
set the in-memory cone mode value (core_sparse_checkout_one) when
--no-cone was specified, but since it did set the config setting on
disk, any subsequent git invocation would correctly get non-cone mode.
As such, the error did not previously matter. However, a subsequent
commit will add some logic that depends on core_sparse_checkout_cone
being set to the correct mode, so make sure it is set consistently with
the config values we will be writing to disk.

Commit 4e256731d6 ("sparse-checkout: enable reapply to take
--[no-]{cone,sparse-index}", 2021-12-14) made it so that reapply could
take additional options but added no tests. Tests would have shown that
the feature doesn't work because the initial values are set AFTER
parsing the command line options instead of before. Add a test and set
the initial value at the appropriate time.

When pruning refs fails, we print an error to stderr, but still
exit 0 from 'git fetch'. Since this is a genuine error, fetch
should be exiting with some non-zero exit code. Make it so.
The --prune option was introduced in f360d844de ("builtin-fetch: add
--prune option", 2009-11-10). Unfortunately it's unclear from that
commit whether ignoring the exit code was an oversight or
intentional, but it feels like an oversight.
