Even if they are using Git to manage their kernel source internally (which would be a sane choice given upstream), the git tree that they cut the source tarball from is probably not the one developers work on.
If they want to send the changes upstream, presumably they would be working on them in a separate branch, in isolation of unrelated RH kernel changes.
Whether those changes are integrated into the RH kernel by merging them into another git tree or producing patches would only really effect the tail end of that work.
