So you are saying I should switch to use kdesvn-build instead of what I've 
been using for the last so many years?
Thats not much different than saying "Its just one more tool, how hard can it 
be!"...
As I said in my other mail, its about it being different.

If you argue that it has a very minimal impact, I can follow that. It doesn't 
excuse the moving early either, IMO.
But moving something that now lives in kde svn to gitorious as a git repo most 
certainly falls under the things pointed out. The idea of "no man left behind" 
just is pretty black and white.
I'm not saying you can't do it, I have no illusions that I can yield that kind 
of power. I'm saying its just not very KDE of you if you do.
