Clarify lack of BC guarantees. And say a bit more about the extension. diff --git a/hgext/sparse.py b/hgext/sparse.py --- a/hgext/sparse.py +++ b/hgext/sparse.py @@ -6,6 +6,17 @@ # GNU General Public License version 2 or any later version. """allow sparse checkouts of the working directory (EXPERIMENTAL) + +(This extension is not yet protected by backwards compatibility +guarantees.
