Kdeedu attempted this. It was not done in the end. The kdeedu 4.6.3 release had to come from svn even though they had already switched to git because the git bits couldn't be stitched back into a proper (for 4.6) tarball.

It may be that there was more to the release implications of the git transition than "we're sure it'll get figured out by people who actually care about releases", but if there was it's not apparent to me.
