Thanks, this is good news.

Which branch? concurrency or test-concurrency?  These are different
branches; the latter is actually master with concurrency merged into
it (in de4624c), and with some followup commits to fix problems.

Regarding the original concurrency branch, Ken did a merge from master
around November last year.  Not sure if that explains what you saw.

If you checked out the test-concurrency branch, then there were no
rebases on it since it was pushed, a day before I announced it.  I
only added a few commits since then.
