x264 fails to install

[paulbalogh]

Under OSX Yosemite when trying to
brew install ffmpeg

or simply

brew install x264

I get:

==> Cloning http://git.videolan.org/git/x264.git
Updating /Library/Caches/Homebrew/x264--git
fatal: reference is not a tree: e260ea549226ae29832d8bc0dcfd20cffc8cf248
Error: Failed to download resource "x264"
Failure while executing: git checkout -q -f e260ea549226ae29832d8bc0dcfd20cffc8cf248

Other (many) formula install just fine.

I think I'm getting a hung checkout over here, on 10.9. (I had to force a build from source, though of course we're not bottling for Yosemite yet.)

Obviously they have rewritten the commit history, which causes bad thing to happen (broken hash objects)
