Ever heard of "quilt"? It even has handling of sane spec files built-in.

My common way of tweaking Fedora patches is this:

cd ~/rpmbuild/fedora-packager/PACKAGENAME/
git up
quilt setup -v *spec
cd SOURCENAME-VERSION
quilt push -a

And then I have upstream source with Fedora patches applied. 'quilt 
push/pop' allows me to apply/revert patches, 'quilt refresh' refreshes 
patch (amount of context lines etc can be configured, description is 
kept, diffstat can be added).

Try it one day?
