This is one of the approaches.

Another one is to update those sources regularly during development(gnulib-tool
--update), and only release releases with a specific snapshot.

But even assuming that gnulib files are copied and kept in tree, as you say,
there's a question how to best do that. During normal development of C code, if
I'm about to gnulib-ify my project, it is much more continent to say 'yum
install gnulib && gnulib-tool --import', than to say 'cd /var/tmp/ && git clone
<some-address-I'll-have-to-look-up> && make -C gnulib && cd - &&
$OLDPWD/gnulib/gnulib-tool --import'. For the developer, keeping gnulib git
tree updated is an additional chore, which is nicely solved by updating the
gnulib snapshot through yum.
