In any case, I think this functionality could be included in rpkg/fedpkg...?
If there are no objections, I will open a ticket for this.
It took me a bit to figure it out but I use quilt instead. It doesn't perfectly integrate with rpmbuild/dist-git but it works well enough.
There are two big nits I have...
1. If one patch fails to apply it stops there, so I have to go in and fix/refresh it, then back out, rm -rf the source directory, and re-quilt setup <spec>.
2. If you don't have any patches yet they are only generated in <src>/patches and not created in the dist-git directory.
Thanks,
Richard
