Then we don't move the code, we move the repository.

That is, an application/library that is born in playground is given its own 
repository. Then it moves to kdereview by simple changing of the KDE 
structure: the repository stays exactly where it is. When it moves to 
extragear, it's another structure change. If we split the main modules, the 
same remains true for it as well: when moving to the main modules, it's a 
simple structure change.

Now, if you talk about moving code from one repository to another, like a 
class from an app that gets moved to one of the kdelibs libraries, or across 
one of those libraries (KApplication from kdecore to kdeui for example), then 
there's no history kept.
