Excellent, I've got a lot of changes to push to kreport, am I waiting for rb to work?

Hi All,
Update: KProperty and KReport frameworks have moved to the official places:

git clone kde:kproperty
git clone kde:kreport

The page [1] has been updated accordingly.

Notes
0. Consider API and state of KProperty ready to use within Calligra
(for now Kexi and Plan) and elsewhere (if someone is in need)
1. There won't be pushes with --force anymore for kproperty and kreport :)
2. The reviewboard will be available soon and all usual infrastructure
you know from the KDE repos.
3. kreport still doesn't build fully (this is a dependency for porting
of Kexi and Plan)
4. please coordinate planned changes with me, innocent changes such as
file renames may set your patch hard to apply.
5. predicate stays in the scratch repo for some time awaiting history
editing, until we get proper dir layout
