The lack of proper git tree and patches is a very unfortunate way to get
things started, I agree.

It is a branch of work. The branch has been done without community
interaction, so yes, it looks like a fork. The whole purpose of getting
spice licensed and released as an open source project is to work towards
eliminating the branch.

Spice ship patched QEMU based on fairly old KVM snapshot as a reference
implementation. The Spice team plane to push all the relevant bits into
QEMU upstream.
I believe they wanted to get things out as soon as possible.
