Hi Jeremy! I had a glance yesterday at your package and I found some issues.
But I noticed that the version you are packaging is almost 3 years old. 

Considering the current upstream GIT version uses another build-system and
another toolkit, I wonder if it is not the case to package a preview of the
next release, thus you can work with upstream to solve some issues. What do you
think?

BTW, the License: field refers to the licenses of the contents of the binary
rpm. It is not a list of licences used in the source files. Therefore the
license of gens-gs should be GPLv2+ (that is what you get combining LGPLv2+ and
GPLv2+ sources).

Both v2.16.7 and the current GIT version are bundling a lot of external
libraries. This is not permitted and the package should be patched to use the
system libraries.

Conflicts should also be avoided. You can work with upstream to resolve the
conflict with gens. I don't know how stable is the current GIT version, so
there can be a time where a user wants to have both gens and gens-gs installed.
