'%autosetup -S git' for sure, not plain %autosetup.
Git correctly handles file modes and binary patches (not that binary
patches should be much of a concern here, but file modes definitely
are).
Fair enough. I wasn't really suggesting any option (or the absence of
it), but point taken.
To be honest, I'd go even further: just like we got rid of %clean
sections, maybe we could get rid of %prep sections in most cases?
rpmbuild could just assume that if no %prep section is present, then it
should just use %autosetup, with a certain set of options agreed upon.
