Yes, but having commit access beats having it on the same server.
Also I had planned on figuring out how to best switch to a different
git repository only in the long term, not just now (would probably
involve detecting a mp_auto_pull repository with the old URL and
refuse to continue just as before with a old SVN checkout).

I fear I still might have a bit of a mplayer-specific mess in
out libdvdcss that would need proper testing, review and then
upstream merging at least.
