tl;dr : everyone who can please try to build [1].

I don't see a reason. All the calligra/* branches stay in calligra.git.
Calligra.git history won't be edited, just kexi/ dir and related will
be removed using a commit.
This is not different to how krita moved and everyone else can.

Pushed to master now:

[1] https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=scratch%2Fstaniek%2Fkexi3.git

Please please test!
If tested with current kdb/kproperty/kreport, I'd push to kexi.git tomorrow.

Yes, and if that's not enough, a 6-core machine capable of running
'make -j13' or 'jom.exe /j13' is waiting for commands :)
