For those interested, here's a link to a GIT FFmpeg repository tarball
(13MB). 
http://issaris.be/ffmpeg-git.tar.bz2

If you want to use it to browse the history locally, install GIT,
download the tarball, extract it in your FFmpeg sourcetree, and
use f.e. "git log -p" to view all commits (from revision 1 to current
being 6244) accompanied with the actual patch.

Just for fun, I've also put up the tool similar to ViewCVS, namely
gitweb:
http://issaris.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=ffmpeg.git;a=summary

Be gentle as this is a _very_ weak server :)

In fact, the gitweb site doesn't really show the things you will find
useful, as the webbased design implies that you do not have the data
locally available.

I just noticed that I am posting this on the _X264_ mailinglist, while I
thought it was the FFmpeg mailinglist. I'll put up a X264 git tarball
tomorrow, together with an entry on the gitweb page to make this post
somewhat relevant here... :)

With friendly regards,
Takis
