Also note that if you do checkouts from git instead of yumdownloader, we
have specifically added an into_srpm.sh script that calls
return_disttag.sh and builds an SRPM from the tree.  There is no reason
you can't also use those script in any rpmbuild extracted build area ...
it should work there too
