The path to the repo is wrong.
Too late to boost my brain with more coffee for today. Not as sharp as I would like to be ;) .
Still leaves me with the question why a script to download the source tarballs is needed when just not adding a .gitignore entry for them to the repos would fix the issue. Could someone involved care to explain the rationale behind this or point me to a thread where this has been discussed/explained?
Not sure what you are asking.
You don't want to put large GZ tarballs in git .. we only put text file in git. All binary files are put in a look-aside cache.
So, when you do git clone you get all the text sources .. when you do get_sources.sh (or into_srpm.sh) you get all the binary sources (tarballs, etc.). You need both to be able to build the SRPM.
