nothing to change, I like the workflow we have with Qt.

it will save space on the harddisk ;)

%s/eventually//g

git.kde.org is set up.

As you can see, I used git on most new Qt related packages.
+1 to switch KDE packaging to git.

It isn't clear on your mail but the switch to git is for pkg-kde svn.
IMHO, the switch should includes kde-extras and krap.
For KDE Extras, it will avoid fragmentation as we have some packages
in svn.d.o and some other on git.d.o.

Cheers,

Fathi
