You should be using master. Generally, there should not be any broken tests in 
master. Sometimes breakages do slip in, but they are usually caught fairly 
quickly at http://builds.gradle.org/overview.html and fixed. There are also 
some tests that are a bit too environment specific and which don't get fixed as 
quickly as they could ("it works for me").

What are the broken tests you are seeing?
