Yes, that branch is based on v3.12-rc5.  Once the branch is made it is
best not to rebase (Linus prefers that, unless there is a strong reason
to rebase).

Chances are there is still a 64bit bug that is causing truncation of
values to 32bit.  So I wouldn't expect the latest code to help your
particular situation but it doesn't hurt to use the latest.

Those tools are part of this project:
https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools

There are man pages for each utility (in the man8 subdir).
