At that point, you have the patent-encumbered files in your (src-)git 
history. I do not think the src-git approach is legally possible at all for 
these packages, at least not based on upstream git. (You could of course 
make your own git history with just code drops of the hobbled tarballs' 
contents, but that makes the use of git much less useful.)
