Yes, that's my idea.

The git part is not for others clients to sync, but just to manage the samples.

It allows to have versioning of the samples, with the extra ability to have branches and tags matching the ffmpeg branches.
It avoids the weird dance "waiting for FATE admin to upload thing", because their would be multiple approvers/committers to that repo.
It simplifies the workflow on the admin side, since with a git hook, the server does "git update" in the directory that will be rsync'd by the mirrors. And it does not change their workflow, still using rsync.

just my 5c.
