Albert, this is the first KDE git transition and we're still figuring
out what needs to be done to make it smooth. You are right, we should
have sent warning, we just were thinking of many other things that had
to be done too that aren't in place yet (and many of which also got
forgotten). I think as things progress it'll be a very systematic switch
method that will always include such a ping to you guys.

Yes, this was why. Since things seem to be working I believe we can now
ask them to delete the path (perhaps archiving it in branches/ somewhere
first). Does anyone know any reason to wait?
