You want the source already there and some history with your patches so that the patch management system can work if you so choose to use it. > For the vast majority of packages, I don't think having an exploded tree > in the SCM helps anything.

When a maintainer checks out a module from the package scm they get patches/spec/sources file per usual. They could optionally ask to get the exploaded tree for more indepth work, but it would be an optional thing. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
