OK, so I found the previous revision, which
is c9594fe0fb6dd123fa25cb27fe5bc976ff3a9051

I'm not a git expert though (barely a novice).  I did the following:

git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git

$ git checkout -b newBranch c9594fe0fb6dd123fa25cb27fe5bc976ff3a9051
Switched to a new branch 'newBranch'

configure; make

I don't have an ffmpeg binary.  There are no errors in the Make.
