[Geocoding] Reverse Geocode Bounding Box

[Brooks Isoldi]

Hi Sarah,

Thanks, right after I sent the email, I noticed osm.org had it available 
which prompted my checking github.

I'm cloning the source right now.  Do I need to use that commit?  I had 
thought master was fully updated for that feature, is master no longer 
compatible with 2.5.0?

Thanks!
