[FFmpeg-devel] VS 2015 patch

I tracked down the source of the confusion. The Chromium team has a repo
that sits between Chromium and the main ffmpeg repo. This repo is discussed
here:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/third_party/ffmpeg.git

The trouble is that this page shows README instead of README.chromium, so
it shows contributing instructions that are applicable to git://
source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg, but aren't applicable to the repo it
links to.

I'm mentioning this just in case some other lost soul shows up trying to
contribute a patch to a Chromium only file. I'll get my patch landed in the
right place.

Thanks for the help.
