While it may be wrong, it is not baseless, that was the plan that was stated during one of the initial discussions.
I also assumed it to be necessary in order to be able to test that integrating the FFmpeg subtree actually works with git (most of the time I have heard only bad things about git in that regard), since there are still quite a few FFmpeg developer using MPlayer AFAICT knowing whether we will risk losing that tight integration forever with the git switch would be useful information...
