I understand it's still very much an in-progress feature, but would like the closest thing to a stable set of tests to regularly clone and use.

David,

Please follow fixes branch for patches that are going to be in the next mainline release. I am planning to create devel or experimental branch to make my next revision install target patches available for early testing for people that want to play with work in progress. Hope this is helpful.

thanks,
