I tried to play with the tito && git-annex a bit now, but I suspect there's
some
bug in `git-annex` package in fedora (perhaps too old version from upstream?).
When I do:

    $ git clone https://github.com/praiskup/try-git-annex
    $ cd try-git-annex
    $ git annex get # That's what's done by 'tito build --srpm' command,
for example
    ...
    tar-1.29.tar.xz      100%[====================>]   1.90M   410KB/s    in 6.3s  
    ...
    tar-1.29.tar.xz.sig  100%[====================>]     198  --.-KB/s    in 0s
    ...
    $ git status
    ...
        deleted:    tar-1.29.tar.xz
        deleted:    tar-1.29.tar.xz.sig
    ...

So it is clear that git annex attempts to download the sources from web; OTOH
right after the download, the symlinks 'tar-1.29-tar.xz*' are removed.  So I
have to do:

    $ git co tar-1.29.tar.xz tar-1.29.tar.xz.sig

And from now on -> the 'tito build' works as expected.  Can anyone define what
am I doing wrong?  Is that really a bug?

Btw., looking at the bug 1450950, it seems that the repository in question
doesn't have 'git-annex' branch ... so clearly tito (git-annex actually) can
not
know where to download the payload from.
