1. Set all context variables to nil:

(setq org-show-hierarchy-above nil
       org-show-following-heading nil
       org-show-siblings nil)

2. Use a simple hierarchy, with (for example) TODO entries, like this.

* main 1
** sub
*** sub 1-1
*** sub 1-2
*** TODO sub 1-3
*** sub 1-4
**** deeper
*** sub 1-5

3. Display the TODO sparse tree with C-c C-v.

4. Move the cursor into the TODO line and observe the effects
of C-c C-r and C-u C-c C-r.

C-c C-r is there to show more context around an exposed location,
to "repair" the tree.

Basically, C-c C-r will show the sibling following the TODO match,
so that you can easily edit the TODO subtree and know exactly
where it ends.

C-u C-c C-r will "repair" the tree to a state which you could also
have gotten using visibility cycling: Start at OVERVIEW visibility,
and then press TAB at "main" and then TAB at "sub".

Hope this make it clearer.
