The distinction is that this patch allows you to clone an ffmpeg repo
specifically for gstreamer, specifically this part:

git clone -b release/1.2 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git

rather than wiping out your existing system install, unless I'm missing
something. This is useful for finding regressions between libav and ffmpeg,
IMHO.
