> Already done. All of the changes in head have been back-ported to
9.2-PRERELEASE with the exception of a locking enhancement not available
outside of current. You can find it at:

The changes were minor, mostly updating line numbers. There was a major
update to the new fuse release, but it was rolled back because it would not
work with fusefs-libs. Both will need to be updated at the same time. I
don't know what the state of any effort to do this might be or how
difficult it will be.
