-Sparse-Checkout
-  You can supply ``git_sparse_paths`` at the package or version level to utilize git's 
-  sparse-checkout feature. This will only clone the paths that are specified in the 
-  ``git_sparse_paths`` attribute for the package along with the files in the top level directory.
-  This feature allows you to only clone what you need from a large repository.
-  Note that this is a newer feature in git and requries git ``2.25.0`` or greater.
-  If ``git_sparse_paths`` is supplied and the git version is too old
-  then a warning will be issued and that package will use the standard cloning operations instead.
-  ``git_sparse_paths`` should be supplied as a list of paths, a callable function for versions,
-  or a more complex package attribute using the ``@property`` decorator. The return value should be
-  a list for a callable implementation of ``git_sparse_paths``.

+
+        Spack directives allow you to modify a package while it is being
+        defined, e.g. to add version or dependency information.  Directives
+        are one of the key pieces of Spack's package "language", which is
+        embedded in python.
+
+        Here's an example directive:
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            @directive(dicts='versions')
+            version(pkg, ...):
+                ...
+
+        This directive allows you write:
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            class Foo(Package):
+                version(...)
+
+        The ``@directive`` decorator handles a couple things for you:
+
+          1. Adds the class scope (pkg) as an initial parameter when
+             called, like a class method would.  This allows you to modify
+             a package from within a directive, while the package is still
+             being defined.
+
+          2. It automatically adds a dictionary called "versions" to the
+             package so that you can refer to pkg.versions.
+
+        The ``(dicts='versions')`` part ensures that ALL packages in Spack
+        will have a ``versions`` attribute after they're constructed, and
+        that if no directive actually modified it, it will just be an
+        empty dict.
+
+        This is just a modular way to add storage attributes to the
+        Package class, and it's how Spack gets information from the
+        packages to the core.

-
-        Spack directives allow you to modify a package while it is being
-        defined, e.g. to add version or dependency information.  Directives
-        are one of the key pieces of Spack's package "language", which is
-        embedded in python.
-
-        Here's an example directive:
-
-        .. code-block:: python
-
-            @directive(dicts='versions')
-            version(pkg, ...):
-                ...
-
-        This directive allows you write:
-
-        .. code-block:: python
-
-            class Foo(Package):
-                version(...)
-
-        The ``@directive`` decorator handles a couple things for you:
-
-          1. Adds the class scope (pkg) as an initial parameter when
-             called, like a class method would.  This allows you to modify
-             a package from within a directive, while the package is still
-             being defined.
-
-          2. It automatically adds a dictionary called "versions" to the
-             package so that you can refer to pkg.versions.
-
-        The ``(dicts='versions')`` part ensures that ALL packages in Spack
-        will have a ``versions`` attribute after they're constructed, and
-        that if no directive actually modified it, it will just be an
-        empty dict.
-
-        This is just a modular way to add storage attributes to the
-        Package class, and it's how Spack gets information from the
-        packages to the core.
