This is an important point I think. Assume a library which has been developed 
in a separate repo. Now it is scheduled to be moved to kdeXY/libs (just for 
example).  Suppose kdeXY is monolithic.
Yes, this is possible, but advanced git magic is required. It is in no way 
comparable to "svn mv". Similar situation for splitting a tree from a repo. 
How much easier would it be to just change a repo location on Redmine's 
virtual layout?
