There's no guessing involved, is there?

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdegames/kpat/repository

Tells you exactly how to check out

I can change the name of the project to kpat, it's just that i don't 
understand why i need to do so, we have lots of projects where the name does 
not match the repo name, want more examples?

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdegraphics/kruler is named "KDE Screen 
Ruler"

So i'm really interested in knowing why this is an issue now and wasn't back 
then.

Cheers,
