Uploading a new tarball frobs a couple of files in the branch, so you'll
want to do that *before* committing.

I don't think it matters, but the process of building will download the
source files to the branch directory regardless.

You need to commit after.

It will build it using the packages you currently have installed on your
system. Consider using make mockbuild instead.

There's no hard requirement that you commit a completely-working build;
nothing actually gets built until you direct koji/plague to do so.

You don't get penalized for non-working builds, so don't worry.

Rawhide, which will currently eventually become F10.
