You applied a patch from someone else, in the process showing you're not
very familiar with libass or its development (such as the size limit).
The people who are more familiar with it prefer git.

Whatever exact phrasing you use for the level of libass support and
maintenance in svn, there's a big enough difference between that and git
that people who encounter libass problems should use the git repo.

That's not an honest description of what I said. A VDPAU user said he'd
heard git was a better choice than svn, and you replied to him "I'm not
sure if it is wise to just believe what is said on IRC". That's what I
called FUD. The git repo does in fact have significantly better VDPAU
support than svn.
