Setting the `show-progress` option to false in the `with` section of the workflow step will cause git fetch to run without `--progress`.
The motivation is to be able to suppress the noisy progress status output which adds many hundreds of "remote: Counting objects: 85% (386/453)" and similar lines in the workflow log.
This should be sufficient to resolve#894 and its older friends, though the solution is different to the one proposed there because it doesn't use the --quiet flag. IIUC git doesn't show the progress status by default since the output is not a terminal, so that's why removing the --progress option is all that's needed.
Adding the --quiet flag doesn't make a lot of difference once the --progress flag is removed, and actually I think using --quiet would suppress some other more useful output that would be better left visible.
While it _is_ true that cone mode is the default nowadays (mainly for performance reasons: code mode is much faster than non-cone mode), there _are_ legitimate use cases where non-cone mode is really useful.
Let's add a flag to optionally disable cone mode.

* Verify minimum Git version for sparse checkout
The `git sparse-checkout` command is available only since Git version v2.25.0. The `actions/checkout` Action actually supports older Git versions than that; As of time of writing, the minimum version is v2.18.0.
Instead of raising this minimum version even for users who do not require a sparse checkout, only check for this minimum version specifically when a sparse checkout was asked for.

* Support sparse checkout/LFS better
Instead of fetching all the LFS objects present in the current revision in a sparse checkout, whether they are needed inside the sparse cone or not, let's instead only pull the ones that are actually needed.
To do that, let's avoid running that preemptive `git lfs fetch` call in case of a sparse checkout.
An alternative that was considered during the development of this patch (and ultimately rejected) was to use `git lfs pull --include <path>...`, but it turned out to be too inflexible because it requires exact paths, not the patterns that are available via the sparse checkout definition, and that risks running into command-line length limitations.

@dscho discovered that the checkout action could stall for a considerable amount of time on Windows runners waiting for PowerShell invocations made from 'windows-release' npm package to complete.
Then I studied the dependency chain to figure out where 'windows-release' was imported:
'@actions/github' v3 removed dependency on '@octokit/rest'@16.43.1 and allows users to move away from the old 'universal-user-agent' v4. (https://github.com/actions/toolkit/pull/453)
This pull request attempts to update the version of '@actions/github' used in the checkout action to avoid importing 'windows-release'.
Based on testing in my own repositories, I can see an improvement in reduced wait time between entering the checkout action and git actually starts to do useful work.
When trying to list local branches to figure out what needs cleaned up during runs on non-ephemeral Actions Runners, we use git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name to get a list of branches. This can lead to ambiguous ref name errors when there are branches and tags with similar names.
Part of the reason we use rev-parse --symbolic-full-name vs git branch --list or git rev-parse --symbolic seems to related to a bug in Git 2.18. Until we can deprecate our usage of Git 2.18, I think we need to keep --symbolic-full-name. Since part of the problem is that these ambiguous ref name errors clog the Actions annotation limits, this is a mitigation to suppress those messages until we can get rid of the workaround.
* auth-helper: properly await replacement of the token value in the config
After writing the `.extraheader` config, we manually replace the token with the actual value. This is done in an `async` function, but we were not `await`ing the result.
In our tests, this commit fixes a flakiness we observed where `remote.origin.url` sometimes (very rarely, actually) is not set for submodules. Our interpretation is that the configs are in the process of being rewritten with the correct token value _while_ another `git config` that wants to set the `insteadOf` value is reading the config, which is currently empty.
A more idiomatic way to fix this in Typescript would use `Promise.all()`, like this:

* Ask ESLint to report floating Promises
This rule is quite helpful in avoiding hard-to-debug missing `await`s.
Note: there are two locations in `src/main.ts` that trigger warnings: the `run()` and the `cleanup()` function are called without `await` and without any `.catch()` clause.
In the initial version of https://github.com/actions/checkout/pull/379, this was addressed by adding `.catch()` clauses. However, it was determined that this is boilerplate code that will need to be fixed in a broader way.
