Regarding the matter of Calligra Gemini

[Cyrille Berger]

Hi Leinir!

I am all for a merge into master. Question is whether you want to have 
it released with 2.9?

I am wondering, shouldn't then in the future gemini be merged into 
Words/Stage (depending on man power, of course)?

I guess the rest of the branch is the application itself?

libqgit don't seem to be in debian at all :( That said, they should 
package it we use it. And since, it is in a plugin in Gemini, maybe that 
should not be a hard requirement for building gemini?
