Yes, the hostname git.kde.org will be fully retired as part of this transition.

This is something we'll confirm with mpyne though to ensure we can
make the cutover as smooth as possible.

Depending on how things look we may also make available a script that
will update the configuration of a repository to reflect both the
change in hostname as well as the change in path.
