The currently master branch of sparse git repository has gone to RC4 of of release v0.5.1. BTW, the current sparse development has move back to the official sparse repository. The sparse-next is the branch to test the bleeding edge bits. In theory sparse-next can roll back and rewrite history, there is no guarantee it will be clean pull. The master branch will never rebase, it will prove a clean pull. Chris
