Sorry, my fault. I intially thought it was a good idea to synce changes
between the repos to make merging of changes easier and get changes to
users who just switched yesterday. It was bad idea considering the
changes we did to the repo on git.ffmpeg.org. Sorry.

I will be available for cleaning it up as far as it is possible and
wished.
