I'm fine with this; it'll only activate for sparse. I'd like to get Linus's eyes on it, though, since this macro caused us SO much pain that I'm nervous to change it without some greater level of review. :)
Honestly, I'd like to just encourage people to get the sparse update from Luc Van Oostenryck instead.
For a while there it looked like Chris Li would just pull from Luc, and we'd have timely releases, but that really doesn't seem to have ended up happening after all. So right now it's probably just best to get Luc's tree instead from
https://github.com/lucvoo/sparse-dev
which also ends up fixing a lot of other issues.
