Yes. This.
The "preferred form for modification" varies in time and space.
We know what the preferred form for the Linux kernel is because major distributors like Debian and--until recently--Red Hat supplied it.

And can vary between upstream development and vendor packagers. Preferred form can be a tarball for one, and tarball+patches for the other, in theory.
Course, wrt Linux, if *all* the kernel copyright holders don't have a problem with packagers not distributing the history of their fork, then there's not a problem.
