Discussion with pingou and sochotni on #fedora-java brought us this: What about using an RPM macro with this grammar:

	%create_tarball git|svn|cvs URL revision [additional commands]

This covers vast majority of the cases, and by using e. g. git archive, we can ensure the timestamps will be the same. In case you need to make some non-standard changes, like removing a file, you can still use a stand-alone script in SOURCE1.

What do you think about this?
