I did :

#https://github.com/rawstudio/rawstudio/commit/983bda1f0fa5fa86884381208274198a620f006e
%global commit 983bda1f0fa5fa86884381208274198a620f006e
%global shortcommit %(c=%{commit}; echo ${c:0:7})


Name:           rawstudio
Version:        2.1
Release:        0.1.20150511git%{shortcommit}%{?dist}

Source0:
https://github.com/rawstudio/rawstudio/archive/%{commit}/rawstudio-%{commit}.tar.gz

%prep
%setup -qn %{name}-%{commit}

%changelog
* Wed May 13 2015 my name and email - 2.1-0.1.20150511git983bda1



But in this package, needs Git Submodules , I used 

#https://github.com/klauspost/rawspeed/tree/8ea2a3a6c44ee1c4b370cdd6d7e4ead932fbd307
%global commit2 8ea2a3a6c44ee1c4b370cdd6d7e4ead932fbd307
%global shortcommit2 %(c=%{commit2}; echo ${c:0:7})
# cd plugins/load-rawspeed/rawspeed
Source1:
https://github.com/klauspost/rawspeed/archive/%{commit2}/rawspeed-%{commit2}.tar.gz

%prep
%setup -qn %{name}-%{commit} -a1
rmdir plugins/load-rawspeed/rawspeed
mv rawspeed-%{commit2} plugins/load-rawspeed/rawspeed


So document Github snapshot guidelines with Git Submodules, it would be
awesome .

Thanks,
