In src builders I prefer to keep it in clone of git repo. This way if I
want to make a final check if the new changes don't break anything I
don't need to produce rpm, upgrade it and in case of breakage downgrade.

One more idea. The history of this additional files right now has to be
set to new set of seperate branches. If someone wants them together with
builder and adapther it needs to merge master and one of this new
branches. But maybe this merge shouldn't be made on master. 

This way we keep master clean for sbuilders, and what's more for
building rpm packages rpm-build-toos.rpm. And if somebody wants to use
the tools can use a separate branch Tools (or whatever it is called) in
his rpm/rpm-build-tools local clone.
