 Summary of the bug:
 the build instructions on
 https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Centos use bare 'git clone'
 which download all versions and changes.  For libx265 it downloads 265MB.

 If --depth 1 is used everywhere, it much reduces the download size.  For
 libx265 it's reduced from 250MB to <2MB.

 In my (limited) experience, the only git clone which doesn;t work with
 --depth 1 is x265, which needs --depth 2

 I've not directly edited the wiki as I'm new here and I wouldn't know the
 correct way to do that.
