Jerry, I'm open to suggestions.  The problem is that the way github packages
the archives.  It doesn't populate the submodules (in this case tag_wrapper). 
You have to manually:  submodule init and update to get it included, then
re-create the archive.  It's a known issue, people have been complaining, but
it still isn't fixed.  I searched and searched and the only way I could find to
do it was to copy an approach used by another Fedora package (comment #5).  I
don't particularly like it either, it's kind of a pain.  You'd think that 
there would be a more elegant way to handle, but I haven't been able to find
it.

OK, no problem.

Yes, encountered that when I build for COPR.

Thanks, I will remove.

Will do.

On a previous review, I was told if something was listed in BuildRequires, that
the Requires are automatically provided, and to not double-list.  Is that not
correct?

I'll look into that and provide if I can find something.

Thanks for your input.  I'll make the changes listed above.
