Along those lines.... I believe there was actually a discussion in the context of Fedora about hypothetically doing away with the whole concept of tarball and patches inside of source packaging and using a git tree as the corresponding source for binary packages. Sorry I don't have a reference handy to point to. I don't think discussion has cycled back to this idea recently. I just wanted to point out people are thinking about it in the scope of rpm packaging workflow. I think we'll eventually see it happen. Though it might happen sooner if RHEL customers push for it.
