The rules I used are checked in kde-rules, like all others :)
They are quiet easy, as I didn't care for tags/branches, as our
gitorious repository should only used as staging area for reconstruction,
the sources stay in main modules and await later git move.

The only problem were files, which seemed to have stayed because the are
the result of some manual CVS moves,
really old stuff, like kw*.cpp from KDE 1/2. I just purged them in git
later, otherwise the stuff did look ok.
