I don't think a stable repo on videolan and a more-stable repo on ffmpeg is wise. I think either 1 repo, or 2 repos that are exact mirrors of eachother would be better. nah, you misunderstood, iam speaking of specific formating and "ohh my eyes a bleeding" requirements not stability. broken code is NOT welcome in the videolan repo. but if someone has an issue with the existing (quite strict) whitespace formating rules, but the code is otherwise fine, its welcome in videolan also just because some code has mplayer ancestry does not exclude it from consideration nor if it comes from anywhere else. For me the actual code matters not how its formatted or where its from. And i will pull all imrpovments mans does so its not that his tree would have any better formated code, just less code. So basically, you'd like it to remain the way it is now. V?ctor, Stefano, Reimar, Jason, Nicolas and others, do you agree with that? should I shut up and let things develop however? Personally, I think the way it is now is messed up with the back and forth pulling of changes between the two repos.

IMO a pulling war is very stupid.
