I'm not quite sure that I have the last word here, so I'll just reply
* rpm-build * rpmdevtools * yum-utils * gcc * redhat-rpm-config * ncurses-devel * unifdef
This changes over time and I do not bother remember this. I just run rpmbuild --bp, and it tells what packages it needs. Maybe you want to mention that it's ok to run rpmbuild, see what falls out? For example, it's likely that we'll require sparse just as soon as the Core+Extras merge happens.
The second diff command will hardlink the orig and new trees so that the diff will run faster. Text editors should know how to break the hardlink, so this should not present a problem.
I see you applied Chuck's suggestion. I would mention also that vi specifically is the most notable exception. You have to break links before editing with vi.
