What I do if I need full git is rm -rf ffmpeg, then edit mplayers 
configure to remove the --depth 1 from the git clone line which is 
handily near the top.

when you run ./configure you will get a full git.

reinstate configure to it's normal state - edit or

svn st -q | awk '{print $2;}' | xargs svn revert

Mplayer puts an empty file called mp_auto_pull
in the ffmpeg dir - when testing with ffmpeg reset to older commits 
remove this to prevent ./configure from updating ffmpeg.
