More or less. There'd still be a KDE.git supermodule to aggregate the various 
KDE main modules.

And probably an even larger supermodule aggregating all of KDE's other 
supermodules and modules, so that sequential changes can be propagated 
correctly. For example, KDE 4.1's tagging, then a new API in 
extragear/libs/kipi, then using that API in extragear/graphics/digikam.

The idea is that a private repository is for anything the developer wants. He 
could be branching kdelibs for some work of his or he could be starting a new 
app. Or publishing his changes to git itself. It doesn't matter.

What matters is that we don't waste 250 MB by making him upload all objects of 
kdelibs again :-)

Another important piece of information: every "project" repository is 
associated with a mandatory Wiki page, that describes what the repository was 
created for (purpose, developers, goals).
