Sorry to be dense but if you know the package name and you only care
about the specfile can't you do something like:

base_url='http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org'

for pkg in $pkgs ; do
	wget -o $pkg.log -O $pkg.spec \
		"$base_url/cgit/${pkg}.git/plain/${pkg}.spec?id=HEAD" &
done

You can even vary HEAD, to be f18,f19 to look at other releases.

It saves you the git clone, which across the whole pakage base could be
significant.

Yours Tony
