2b) make cgit .spec use _two_ tarballs as a source, one with cgit
sources, one with git sources.  This assumes that you always use
released git version as a base.

This is immediate solution.

I wonder how likely this would be.

Option 4) would be probably best in long term, but libgit2 doesn't
exists yet.
