As most major RPM based distros use their own specfile when packaging us, they aren't looking after us as their pristine upstream tree, either. At this point, it is turning to be a disservice to the users to pretend that our tree natively supports "make rpmbuild" target when we do not properly maintain it. =20 Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano we no longer ship an outdated git.spec and git.spec.in files. This was done after finding out that nobody noticed that git.spec has been left broken since around Git 2.8.0 (i.e. we stopped shipping README without adjusting the reference to it from the git.spec file).
