It's not a fix... It's a complete rewrite of the 2d engine.
It will probably be merged some day by its own author, not by "someone".

There is no such thing as a stable mesa.git tree. The mesa.git tree contains
experimental branches (like nvfx-next), main development branch (master), and
stable release branch (7.8).
This kind of work is only ever merged in master. But why do you care and what
difference does it make to you where the code lies ?

And did you forget that 3d is unsupported and bugs are not wanted ?

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/
- Bugs in the 3-D driver are under product “Mesa”, component
“Drivers/DRI/nouveau”, but please do not submit bugs on the 3-D support yet.
- Any 3-D functionality that might exist is still unsupported. Do not ask for
instructions to try it. But you can read GalliumHowto in case you are brave
enough.

- Warning: the Nouveau 3D drivers are not yet suitable for ordinary users.
Bug reports on the 3D drivers are not accepted.

You should be thankful that someone already wrote code that fix your problem
and that code is very easily available in official mesa.git tree, and that
someone else took the time to answer you and point to that code :)

PS : I am not a developer and have no influence on what gets merged in mesa,
neither on the 3d support / bug policy.
And this bug looks more like unofficial user support than anything. Feel free
to send me private mails if you have further questions.
