Ok. Other projects like Amarok are using git for quite some time already, they 
may have something ready.

If we simply release 1.9 from the git repository, it will be easy to 
sync...the repository will contain all branches anyway.

We'll have to discuss this with KDE sysadmins. kde-scm-interest may be the

And a lot of strong opinions are present, discussions can get hot.
