I 100% agree with you.  Converting KDE to git today would be near  
suicide.  Sorry I wasn't clear enough.  What I am advocating is that  
we setup the git web so that new apps or maintainer of apps can give  
it a shot and even migrate if they found it positive.  The app/lib  
maintainers can slowly try git out and even possibly migrate things  
out of KDE if it makes sense for them.  As they do that we can figure  
out how to get stuff like translations etc to work.  If the Amarok  
dudes decided to unlease the power of git on their project I say  
power to them.   They have a strong team and could probably really  
utilize it.  Having a KDE gitweb provides a common place for us to  
place our git depots and is just step 1 in 100.
