Does that mean we end up with a situation that anyone can clone (in this

for any combination of $VERSION-$RELEASE one might be interested in? Ie,
one can do that without using fedpkg (or any other tool mostly used by
packagers), but just by using git. If so, that would be great!
No, it does not. The fedpkg tool is doing a couple things.
1) It takes the n-v-r you feed it and does a look up in koji to see what
the build command was.
2) scrapes out the git hash part of the build command.
While this could be done by hand with just koji installed, or even just
python xmlrpc, fedpkg makes it easier.
Nothing at all is written into the kernel repo to create any sort of
mapping from build n-v-r to hash sum. That data is kept within koji.
