This is much more efficient, IMHO.
Open Build Service uses tarballs, too. We usually specify full URLs in the RPM .spec file [1] both for documentation of origin and so that the mirrored tarball can be verified via gpg or checksum where available. As the actual build is intentionally done offline, at some point a tarball is needed. The URL could happily be a redirect to some mirror. When developing, Git is great of course.
