Subject: Btrfs-progs pre-release 3.17

Hi,

the 3.17 release is almost ready, I've updated the git repositories at

http://repo.or.cz/w/btrfs-progs-unstable/devel.git
https://github.com/kdave/btrfs-progs

tagged as 3.17-rc3 (7fd6d933528f30a). Please give it some testing, I'm about to
do a release in 1-2 days.

Among other fixes and updates, there are many fsck improvements.

User visible changes:
* check: --init-csum-tree acutally does something useful, rebuilds the whole
  csum tree
* /dev scanning for btrfs devices is gone
* /proc/partitions scanning is gone, blkid is used exclusively
* new subcommand 'subvolume sync'
* filesystem df: new options to set unit format
* convert: allow to copy label from the origin, or specify a new one

I don't have concrete plans for .1 release, only that it'll happen ~two weeks
from now, fixups, cleanups, doc updates and small-sized changes will be merged.
