splitting of libav-extra branches

Hi,

with the introduction of libav-source, maintaining the libav-extra
branches causes quite a number of spurious merge artifacts that have to
be manually resolved. In the last two merges, I've been using a
combination of 'git status', awk and xargs to resolve them, but that's
surely suboptimal.

In order to streamline the process, I'm therefore proposing to split of
the libav-extra branches into a distinct git repo libav-extra.git. This
however has the obvious drawback that 'git merge' can no longer be used
to integrate packaging changes from the 'master' to the 'extra'
branches.

I'm therefore asking for comments on this before I create the new
libav-extra.git and delete the 'extra' branches from the libav.git
repository.
