Personally, I have always hated the monolithic repository structure,
especially when I had dialup only ... :-(  Is it possible to break it up?
I always imagined it was for the benefit of distros, but SuSE (at least)
packages our games separately.

-1 from me ...  I have had enough of being a "guinea pig" after 7 years or
so in KDE Games.  ATM I am even struggling (a little) with a request from
Admin to change my SVN account from https to SSH ... :-)  Just when I was
getting interested in doing some more games *development*, as opposed
to "maintenance" ... :-(

I appreciate that git is a "good thing".  I even tried it locally a few months
back.  But I am hoping for minimum disruption to development work and
minimum extra "maintenance" work (for me) during this transition.

All the best, Ian W.
