Specifiyinfg 'immediates' or 'files' does not checkout the externals for a folder with this property set.
If you then do a checkout with 'infinity' you get the libs, but subsequent updates delete the lib again!. I can't seem to stop this behavior now as no matter what I do the lib always gets deleted. So: a) how do I do sparse checkout on a folder with externals b) how do I now get my libs to stay when I do an update?
