It is not a commit message to be precise, just the text I put into the
email.  And my patch does indeed add snapshot URLs for all the listed
repositories.

False, read the text and stop trolling already.  First you start a
silly commit war with Carl Eugen as proxy, now you flame when I make
an effort to be constructive.

I describe here two things that are only available for the ffmpeg.org
repository only:

a) source snapshots that are generated nightly and not on the fly
b) git snapshots with complete history and metadata

I've changed the text of the section to read "ffmpeg.org repository
snapshots", hope this makes you happier...
