I re-read this and realized I made an error. It makes actual sense if
you replace Fedora with Tycho.

We even do this for things like the Eclipse platform build. I'm thinking of
adding an entry about this at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tycho given that
this difference will always exist for Eclipse packages. Upstream foundation
projects will almost always build from a cloned repo (though they don't often
enable the jgit source referencing capability) and in Fedora we'll always get
the sources without the git repo metadata.
