The order of the patches should be different because with this first
the encoder and decoder behavior changes and no detection / id is 
updated or used yet

ideally one should be able to checkout any revission on git master and
not generate files that do not decode correctly. 
And files generated from this will get misdetected as old FFmpeg later
if its first

thx
