Transfer learning with the new model DeepSpeech-0.6.0

Hello I had some questions regarding transfer learning with 0.6.0 release,

I want to use the checkpoint version 0.6.0 and tune with my own data.

Which branch should i use for continuing training from a release model : transfer-learning2 or the master branch.

This topic is raised because its written that the latest model 0.6.0 is not backward compatible with 0.5.1.

Will the model exported with transfer-learning2 branch be compatible with 0.6.0?

This PR will be merged into master in some time, I would try with this one as it is most up to date:

There is only one conflict with master which you would need to resolve.

@jendker , Is this patch for using 0.5.1 checkpoint for Training or this is needed for training on 0.6 Checkpoint, And why on master , is there patch avaiable for tagged 0.6( release)

I meant master, because at the time of writing the post the release 0.6.0 was ~ equal to the master.

From what you can see this PR is a child of fairly recent commit, so rather for version 0.6.0. For 0.5.1 I was using branch transfer-learning2.
