As you said, the top level repository lists several tree's. However, there are only two tree's for xine-lib: xine-lib/xine-lib Media player library back end (1.1; stable development branch) xine-lib/xine-lib-1.2 Media player back end (1.2; unstable development branch) Both clearly marked as 1.1 and 1.2. There isn't any and hasn't been a separate vdpau development tree for quite some time. Any leftover tree's now would simply point to one of the two listed above. A quick search of the changelog for xine-lib-1.2 reveals: 13 months ago Merge from 1.1; merge vdpau (with adjustments for 1.2). changeset Darren Salt <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:46:10 +0000] rev 11335 Merge from 1.1; merge vdpau (with adjustments for 1.2).

If you ever decide you would like to try it and see, I'll even help you with a script that does it all automagically.
