Build latest version of `git` on RHEL 7

Preparing system to building rpms

Install fedpkg:
```
sudo yum install fedpkg
```
Add yourself into group mock (you might need to re-login to server after this change):
```
sudo usermod -a -G mock $USER
```

Download `git`

Download git sources:

fedpkg clone -a git && cd git
fedpkg sources

Verify sources:
```
sha512sum -c sources
```
(TODO: gpg --verify)

Build rpm

Create srmp. Use el6 for RHEL6, el7 for RHEL7.
```
fedpkg --dist el7 srpm
```

Build package in mock:

mock -r epel-7-x86_64 git-2.16.0-1.el7.src.rpm

Install latest version of git from /var/lib/mock/epel-7-x86_64/result/.
