I think that was an error before cvslog was fully switched over; I
only committed to the git.ffmpeg.org repository.  I actually recloned
the new repository to ensure that I wasn't committing to anything
else.

I don't *think* any actual commits went to git.videolan.org; cvslog
was likely just wrong.  If there was a mistake and commits did in fact
go to git.videolan.org, it was of course not intended and one should
feel free to revert anything that went there by mistake.
