The reason you didn't find it is probably that it was specific to the
0.10 branch only and you were looking at the master branch.

If you get a clone/checkout of the gst-rtsp-server module, you can see
the commit with:

 $ git show 5daf78dc690b5b5f033b7c4b5b56286d3fe3e7b7

and get a patch file using

 $ git format-patch -1 5daf78dc690b5b5f033b7c4b5b56286d3fe3e7b7

Hope this helps.

Cheers
