.spec file Source0 magic for github release source tarballs?

[Alec Leamas]

Actually, the GL are pretty clear here: the source should be referenced
using the full commit, nothing else. There is some reasoning why. The tag
should got to  Version: (as long its 'sane').

Besides that this is the existing GL, there is also a subtle difference in
git-archive (which supposedly runs this).  When archiving  a tag, the
sources gets today's date. OTOH, when archiving a commit,  the sources
modification dates are their commit date. Last time I checked this was also
true on github.
