Oh, there's a lot of doctoring which can be done. My personal favorite is "make 
force-tag". :-) If you screw up and the build fails, commit the fix, make 
force-tag, then resubmit the build in Koji and most traces of the botched build 
will vanish. ;-) (There'll be a hidden task somewhere in Koji and an untagged 
CVS commit and that's all.)
