while it may be that a git tree is the preferred form and the GPL requires shipping the git tree around in the SRPM, certainly a lot more people than Red Hat would be in violation if that's the interpretation.

I don't think an SRPM with hundreds of patches is really the preferred form for modification ... surely a git tree is the actual way work happens
