[Bug 833467] [NEW] there should be an 'unstable' version for testing new features like -M mixed metadata/data blocks

[MichaelEvans]

Public bug reported:

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories

Support for mixed data/metadata is only in the integration branch and
not the 2 year old stable branch.

$ git clone http://git.darksatanic.net/repo/btrfs-progs-unstable.git
$ cd btrfs-progs-unstable
$ git branch -a
pick the latest integration date and then...
$ git checkout integration-YYYYMMDD

compile this to get btrfs-utils which support experimental / in testing
features.

Such features are required when / is on a < 4gb partition.
