The history function does not work correctly on git.videolan.

Lol?
Well, there still must be something wrong.

For example:
​https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/78eaaa857e95fa5542dc008c8ad3664e6ab6801a#diff-c34076f4a6427b62c51659e0f576917b

git.videolan.org shows all merge commits for every file, even if they didn't touch said file, hence more "history"

Otherwise, different UIs just represent merges differently. If their content would be different, the hashes would be different, Git ensures that.

gitweb on videolan.org shows changes in a merge by default, not the actual code changes, you need to click the "diff 1" links for that.

Here is for example the full diff to your latest link:
​http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commitdiff;h=78eaaa857e95fa5542dc008c8ad3664e6ab6801a;hp=0d0d24af0159ff08f396ad04cd63ce5655b1fc60

Ook, I got gitweb displays commits differently.

But now on the other hand I was trying to point out how github lacks any mention whatsoever of "AV_ERROR_MAX_STRING_SIZE" ever being introduced.

Why before and after "lavc" commits the file is around 5400 lines big, while in between it's only around 4800?
