Just be aware that it will break when the board is flipped unless you
update to the latest fix I just pushed.

git fetch
git checkout master
git branch -D before_pours
git checkout -b before_pours origin/before_pours

[rebuild]

No, that's the way it is currently. I'd avoid my master branch for any
real work (I do), since it introduces non-compatible behaviours without
any changes in file-format.. IE.. will produce PCB files which won't
work properly in other PCB versions, but with no version number or
syntax changes to hint the problem. There are also a few remaining bugs
in the island detection / removal code.
