I REALLY like this idea; especially, I like the idea of "working copy"
being reflected in the sparse checkout dialog. Right now, when I want
to pull in a folder not already in my sparse checkout, I need to
recreate the entire checkout again. It would be wonderful, if the
dialog were already populated with my current sparse checkout
selections, so that I could just tweak it rather than recreate it from
scratch.
