I don't know if it's intentional, but it's annoying.  The workaround is
to use StGIT and run "stg refresh" before "make rpm".

I don't think we need patches in git.spec.in.  Let's leave it to the
actual distributions.  If you have a problem with rpm, please submit the
autoconf support for now and the rest will be cleaned up eventually.
Besides, the "next" branch has different and potentially conflicting
changes to git.spec.in for Git.pm support.
