I was assuming that someone who knew out how to deal with -mm patchset
would know how to deal with with a patchset. I agree it should be
changed to e2fsprogs-1.39-tyt1-broken-out.tar.gz, though.

We can put a source tarball up, but sometimes the e2fsprogs-interim
patches will be, well, about as stable as the -mm tree.  So people who
assume a completely stable release may end up being a little
disappointed.  Hopefully by the time the ext4 stuff gets merged into
the mainline kernel we'll have a e2fsprogs-WIP release which will
support extents, and then we can tell people to use that....
