I am fairly sure Diego is not crying out in joy about that idea ;-)

How about this:

make a copy of the current MPlayer repo.
name it trunk/libswscale
svn del everything but libswscale from trunk/libswscale
svn del libswscale from mplayer repo and make it an external
make libswscale an external for ffmpeg

If this can be done easily, it might be the best compromise, as it preserves 
all history for libswscale. 

The only negative side-effect I see is server space for the new libswscale 
repo, as it contains the complete history of the whole mplayer tree, but 
maybe that can be avoided by dumping/copying it more intelligently and 
exclude all non-libswscale directories/files. I don't know. I am not a 
subversion guru.
