Version: 0.8.0
Release: 0.%{releasenum}.rc1%{?dist}
That's the normal pre-release versioning scheme.
Absolutely no need to insert the git snapshot stuff in there as well.
In case you update to a future snapshot, it's possible to return to the
snapshot versioning scheme. Afterall, %{releasenum} is most significant
in both schemes, and if bumped correctly, anything right of it doesn't
matter during RPM version comparison.
