A repo name of "workspace" lacks context outside of the initial clone
from git.kde.org. The "litmus" test so far for repositories I have
created is "does the repo name make sense by itself"? In this case I
don't think it does.

It should be named kde-workspace or sc-workspace from my point of view...
