I don't think this works if you want $repo to appear in *both* A and B
subgroups. A move is a one-way operation.

If I understand the docs [1] correctly then the multi-group thing is
mostly labeling with aliases in our case. There would be one KDE
structure and a bunch of groups which are basically an ACL with a name
to selectively grant access to a project via the "sharing" mechanism.
So projects in such a group are in fact aliases for projects in the
main KDE namespace similar to symlinks.

The trick is therefore basically: make everybody a member of every
group so you see $repo under both A and B groups because KDE/$repo is
shared from the KDE group with both A and B.
