I verified this... "works"...

In .gitconfig:

[core]
sparseCheckout=1

Then:

$ cd $HOME
$ git clone git://vim-latex.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/vim-latex/vim-latex
$ echo vimfiles > vim-latex/.git/info/sparse-checkout
$ cd vim-latex
$ git reset --hard
$ ls       # only vimfiles and .git show

That's not quite like what you'd expect from SVN, but maybe you can do 
something with that...
