Incidentally, the approach taken in Fedora is a bit different:

The do the following in the spec:

git init
git config user.email "devel at redhat.com"
git config user.name "Fedora SPEC"
git add .
git commit -a -q -m "%{version} baseline."
git am -p1 %{patches}


On the face of it this is a bit ugly, but the reason to do this is that
it allow patches that deal with renames and file mode changes to be
applied too.

So perhaps we should have a %git_apply_patches macro that does the above
too?
