I think Albert would be referring to when kdelibs was tracking both KDE 4 and 
KF5 Frameworks development (before the KF5 repo splits occurred).

We already track "branch groups" for the build.kde.org CI infrastructure and 
for kdesrc-build users, which simply maps which 'role' is being build for to 
the needed repo branch to use.

It's visible in the kde-build-metadata repo, and should make it easy enough to 
manage (this is used in the same kf5-qt5-build-include that dfaure and others 
are maintaining for the kdesrc-build KF5 config).
