This changes the user facing behavior if
sparse.expectfilesoutsideofpatterns is not a valid boolean value.
Currently git will error out when it first starts because that config
value is parsed by git_default_config() which is called by almost all
git commands. This means that if someone sets an invalid value they get
timely feedback that the value is invalid and git dies before doing
anything. Now, if the value is invalid, git will only die if this
function is called and it is likely to die in the middle of a command.
