Hmm, that would require significant changes. Currently I'm simply
pulling from upstream and let git handle all the hard work.

Sounds complicated and somewhat resource intensive.
But maybe this is the best solution, including doing the re-autofoo
stuff in the copy. That would avoid having to write my own merge
strategy [1]. The autofoo files are included in the source package,
so the exact copies used during building would still be available.

Thanks!
