The exploded source isn't in git, but Fedora tracks the upstream tarball so patches are made against the source which you get as a result of `fedpkg prep`. There are a couple of patches already in git. Those are tracked directly in git. The source tarballs are kept in a "lookaside" cache and then the sources file records the sha512sum of them. Altogether, all the code which is necessary to reproduce Fedora sources are tracked in git and the lookaside cache. To make a new patch you can either work from the upstream source control or use `git init` in the expanded source tree from `fedpkg prep` and then export it via `git format-patch` and add it to the spec file. You can create the patch via diff (or the gendiff helper script from rpm-build) too. I just use git out of habit. Hopefully some of that is useful and isn't telling you too much of what you already know. :) -- Todd
