Well, I could add libswscale after current HEAD, so all that would
happen is that suddenly many revisions will be added instead of just
one, but this should not create big breakage.  If you want to have
libswscale revisions interleaved in proper historical order then yes,
current revision numbers will change.  Dunno if this will create
problems, though.
