Description of problem:
Fedpkg should optionally honor compressed files as local source.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fedpkg-1.19-1.fc20.noarch

How reproducible:
yes, always with gnurobbo SCM

Steps to Reproduce:
1. fedpkg new-sources *.png.bz2
2. 
3.

Actual results:
Nothing added to git but files appeaar in .gitignore, as well sources file gets corrupt.

Expected results:
fedpkg should implement a complex logic to differ between real binaries and/or additional source files, maybe compressed.

Additional info:
Do this with a force option? 
Alternatively, fedpkg could try to uncompress small file pieces and look inside the extract if it's textual.

Maybe it's not quite clear how to use fedpkg new-sources. This RFE is more about having an option add-sources or the like. As it turns out, I've to give -all- available source files to new-sources, even if I want to add some only to the existing ones, otherwise the existed ones will be removed again from sources file.

"fedpkg upload" is what you want to add a new tarball to existing ones.
