Yes, just sources (and eventually other binary files) are uploaded to
lookaside cache. In the case of specfile and patches, there is no lookaside
modification. Fork shares the same lookaside cache with the main project.

That sounds complicated to me and maybe it is not worth the intended
result. Or I didn't find the right (easier) approach. ... New sources (and
binaries) in fork need to be saved somewhere.
 - In a parallel lookaside (for forks)
 - In git repo (omitting lookaside)
During the merge, some trigger would move the sources to the main
lookaside. This creates a new file hash(es). And it would result in another
commit done by a trigger. I think it is an unwanted situation.
Some pollution of lookaside seems inevitable. But it happens even now
without possibility to take uploaded file back.
