I’m seeing a similar issue when trying to use sparseCheckoutDir in the developer sandbox (workspaces.openshift.com). My devfile has

projects:
  - name: rhoar-getting-started
    source:
      type: git
      location: https://github.com/openshift-katacoda/rhoar-getting-started.git
      branch: solution
      sparseCheckoutDir: spring/spring-db-access

When the project gets checked out, the UI and the tooling (running git branch) shows master, yet the source code thats checked out reflects the correct branch (the solution branch in my specific case).
