[Kexi-devel] Kexi porting: kproperty and kreport still in scratch repos for now

[Jaroslaw Staniek]

For the record, one of the commands that have put my SSD on fire for a
few hours (Calligra has 95k commits):

git filter-branch --tree-filter 'mv libs/koreport src 2> /dev/null ||
true; mv kexi/plugins/reportspgz/backend src 2> /dev/null || true; mv
kexi/plugins/reportspgz/koreport src 2> /dev/null || true; mv
kexi/plugins/reports/koreport src 2> /dev/null || true' -- HEAD
