[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Allow automating %setup arguments (#368)

[Jeff Johnson]

Finally -- overloading %setup like above is a hackers pathway away from reproducible builds into insanity. JMNSHO ...

(aside)
The real problem -- never well supported, but entirely achievable -- is

How to build from a VCS checkout (not a tarball) with minimal hassle?

This requires additional paraders like URL, authentication, repository name, branch, and checkout identifier (to name just a few of the additional parameters required).

All of the above additional parameters can be mapped into a SourceN: URL ... see what Maven does.

Parsing the URL and writing the script that does, say git clone or git pull would be _FAR_ more useful than overloading %setup.
