dangling blob 64802926167a6aef0d71a5e6de35f0857674947b
git show on that blob shows the variant of 'sources' before I removed
the git5 entry. It seems if there's a pending staged commit to a file,
and then you modify it, git loses its shit.
Why can't fedpkg upload just leave the file modified instead of staging the commit ?
This would also have the advantage of showing up in git diff without the need
for --cached before doing the actual commit.
If we're modifying sources for an upload, chances are we're going to want to
remove
a stale entry anyway, and having to do this as two commits seems a bit dumb.
