Well that would be what I was missing. I guess this should be much
less controversial, then, if it's OK for people to just continue using
dist-git forever and completely ignore src-git? Nobody is ever
required to use something other than dist-git to contribute changes to
Fedora packages that use src-git? It's smart enough to not break
src-git if I commit new patches to a package via dist-git?
That is correct. I recommend reading through the PackIt
documentation. It has suggestions on how to handle workflows like
what you describe:
https://packit.dev/docs/
But, all of this is optional. No one is required to use it. If you
are comfortable with using dist-git as you do now, that's fine.
