Currently, my idea is for proceeding if the following:

1. create branches with final branch names in the KDE git repository
2. place a message on the website (github wiki) that KTechLab is
joining KDE, main repository is moving
3. clean-up merged feature branches on github
4. push an update to the "old" branches on github with the
instructions for using the KDE git
5. rename "old" branches with some prefix, like "pre-kde/"
6. force-push the final branches with final contents to github

What do you think about this approach? Any feedback is welcome.

Have fun,

   Zoltan
