I found the solution in git-extras package .

Name:       git-extras
Version:    2.2.0
Source0:
https://github.com/visionmedia/%{name}/archive/%{version}.tar.gz#/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz

I tried that with the .spec files that I had been running into this issue with and it worked, so I will use this method instead of srcurl.net.
