Thanks Pat.  Yeah it seems the git convention is to just live on the
edge which personally makes me just a tad nervous :)

If master is always stable and backwards-compatible then it is not
really an issue.  Alternatively, a light-weight branching strategy
could be to create one stable branch for each supported Sphinx
version:

For example:

/branches/0.9.8-stable
/branches/0.9.9-stable

Then users of Thinking Sphinx could pull from the branch that matches
the current version of Sphinx they are using.  I was just trying to
determine how I will manage the upgrade of Sphinx and Thinking Sphinx
and if the 0.9.9 is not backwards compatible for 0.9.8 Sphinx users I
can imagine some trouble when master transitions to 0.9.9.

Anyways, thanks again for this great plugin!

Tom
