Yes.

Fedora glibc sources are from git, and the bit diff is just generated
diff between the upstream snapshot and corresponding Fedora snapshot,
sans a few Fedora-only directories (which are packaged as extra tarball).
What is the 'corresponding Fedora snapshot'? What git tree is that a
snapshot of? A Fedora downstream branch of glibc, a different upstream
branch...?
