The mm-tree is fed from the ext4 patch series, so there shouldn't be
much difference.

Yes, or if you want to use the very latest, you can use the Mercurial
repository located at:

http://thunk.org/hg/e2fsprogs

I will be switch to git at some point in the near future, probably
after the e2fsprogs 1.40 release, but for now that's the place to get
the very latest.

In practice, it's not hard to rebase patches, but patches against the
more recent versions are definitely appreciated. So if you're not
familiar with using Mercurial, please feel free to use the
1.40-WIP-0407 as the base for your patches.
