Erm, google ratings never were a really good reasoning or argument for
anything, they are just good for one thing: people like repeating stuff
and often don't think about them.

Like mentioned above, dates aren't unique. There were 7 commits done to
the ffmpeg svn on that day, so it's not really clear which revision the
date refers to ...

So it was exactly the last commit from the day before that was used
here? No commit from the day included? Furthermore, I wonder, wouldn't
that approach have a timezone issue and maybe get you different
revisions when being in different timezones?
So long :)
