Sets _builddir to current working directory. Skips handling of -n and untar in the %setup and the deletion of the buildSubdir." This might be helpful, if the current working directory is the root of the git repository. I think it's a relatively new option-- I seem to remember it being added somewhere in the Fedora 23 cycle?
