Description

A common use case will likely be to add or remove spec file `Source:` files, so there should be commands like `source-add` (which adds a local file as well as adding a `SourceN:` line pointing to the new file), as well as `source-remove` (which removes the corresponding `SourceN:` line in the spec, as well as removing the source file if it exists in dist-git)

Research direction

Start by locating the existing command entry points and code that edits spec files or manages dist-git source files. Confirm how commands and SourceN: entries are represented before implementing the requested behavior. Done means source-add creates the local file and matching SourceN: line, while source-remove removes the line and any corresponding dist-git file.
