[FFmpeg-devel] Using tags and branches.

[Luca Barbato]

git describe works on tags.

people should branch from mainline every time needs to experiment or to
keep a release going and hopefully sync/merge to mainline

I'd like to have a layout so:

- we tag the mainline commit from which a release is branched
- we tag the mainline every time we break the ABI/API

It helps to get either how far we are from a tagged release or from the
latest incompatible change using git describe and to see quite easily
which was the latest compatible version with a certain api.
