For (2) I would suggest a lightweight technique where git-managed
patches are marked in the spec file using:
### GIT-MANAGED-PATCHES ###
### END-GIT-MANGED-PATCHES ###
and a simple script that replaces everything between those marks with
PatchXXXX lines. The script could be adapted from copy-patches.sh
(see above).
To apply the patches, a standard RPM macro could be created:
%prep
%setup -q
%{git_apply_patches}
which would expand to something like:
git init
git config user.email "%{name}-owner(a)fedoraproject.org"
git config user.name "%{name}"
git add .
git commit -a -q -m "%{version} baseline"
git am %{patches}
Or maybe we could start using %autosetup ?
