Description:
In the latest package update for x264 (2:148.20150717-1)
an unstable repository is used:
source=(x264::git://git.videolan.org/x264/x264-sandbox.git#commit=e6d2a36bb)

The used commit (e6d2a36bbc994274281e1a800b8125102774f2a7) was recently removed from the upstream repository.
So the PKGBUILD can not be used anymore to build a package (unless the commit is still available locally).

This breaks usage in abs, but more importantly for me it makes it impossible to use the same commit for
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-libx264/ (discussion was started on AUR 3, PKGBUILD also on AUR 4)

I would recommend to never use x264-sandbox.git since it is not stable and rather use x264.git together with a patch (if necessary).

Steps to reproduce:

copy PKGBUILD of x264 into a new (empty!) directory and "makepkg -c" yields:
==> Extracting sources...
-> Creating working copy of x264-sandbox git repo...
fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'makepkg' at the same time.
Did you intend to checkout 'e6d2a36bb' which can not be resolved as commit?
==> ERROR: Failure while creating working copy of x264-sandbox git repo
Aborting...
This task depends upon

I do have a local repository where the commit still exists and checked the logs.
According to that there is an equivalent (but probably rebased) commit now at x264.git:
source=(git://git.videolan.org/x264.git#commit=145f3a627)

Learned afterwards that the sandbox repo was subject to some push --force. Switched back to using the regular repo.
