I would like to build (S)RPMs directly from a Git repository (which

CI-style project, with a quick release cycle.
I have a Lua script fragment which generates a proper SRPM with the
mock-scm target in COPR, and which is also compatible with “fedpkg srpm”.
But rpmbuild strips leading path components from Source: and Patch:
references, so this only works if all files are in a single directory.
Are there any alternatives that work in COPR, EPEL and Fedora proper?
I think it's strange that I have to put a tarball somewhere just for RPM's
sake if there is no separate upstream, and there are no upstream releases
as a result. It's just an annoyance and yet another step that can go wrong
in various ways.
Thanks,

There is the --build-in-place option to rpmbuild, which will "Build from
locally checked out sources. Sets _builddir to current working directory.
Skips handling of -n and untar in the %setup and the deletion of the
buildSubdir."
This might be helpful, if the current working directory is the root of the
git repository. I think it's a relatively new option-- I seem to remember
it being added somewhere in the Fedora 23 cycle?
