This seems unnecessarily complicated. With qt-copy, it was simple, you 
tracked trunk, and you got the latest recommended thing to play with. 
With how kde-qt is currently set up, apparently we got Qt 4.5.2, maybe 
some patches... and I haven't seen anything change in months.

Can we please fix it so that the git clone pulls a branch with a 
sufficiently generic name that we can push 4.6-tp1 to that branch like 
how we would push previews to qt-copy, so people that 'just want the 
latest recommendation' (i.e. me :-) ) only need to worry about 'git 
fetch --rebase' and not have to switch tags/branches/whatever every time 
we change what we recommend tracking?

(Bonus points for arranging that the local branch you get after cloning 
is named "master".)
