Not really - gst-ffmpeg just runs svn checkout in autogen.sh, and that's
it.

We use git submodules in GStreamer though (we have a 'common' submodule
for all other modules), but git submodules are still fairly cumbersome
to use and I wouldn't recommend them until the git people make them less
painful to use, at least not for projects where the submodule reference
needs to be updated frequently.
