Git branch switchover - Step 2

Hi!

Following the announcement on Monday, I have now completed the branch
switchover in git. I.e.:

master     - now contains the KF5 version of RKWard
kde4       - contains the KDE4 versions of RKWard, i.e. formerly master
frameworks - will be deleted in about two weeks

IF YOU HAVE ANY SCRIPTS / DAILY BUILDS / TOOLS BASED ON RKWARD GIT:
Please make sure to switch to the kde4-branch, if you want the
KDE4-version, and to master, if you want the KF5 version.

---- Repeat: Call for help ----

This is just one out of many inevitable "bureaucratic nuisances". As
developer time is scarce, most of it is currently being eaten up by
tasks like this, while hardly anything is left over to actually advance
the project (and it's not for a lack of ideas). Can you help? One of
the areas that is particularly time-consuming is preparing packages for
our releases. This includes various Linux distributions (including the
debian package that I'm maintaining thus far), but also Mac and Windows
builds.

If you can "adopt" one of these, i.e. make sure RKWard can be built on
that platform, that it gets basic pre-release testing, and deal with
whatever formalities are needed to include it in a distribution, that
could be a significant contribution to the project.

Thanks!
Thomas
