Dear Greg,

As I've already pointed out in another message of this thread, your tree has 
already these sparse warnings fixed by me with commit aef1c966a364 (that 
you applied with a "much nicer!" comment).

So, when Aakash rebases against your current tree, he will not anymore see
those sparse warnings.

Thanks,

Fabio
