No, it just would mean that they have to know how to rebase their
changes on master before they commit.
They would clone the main tree to their overlay location, then make a
kde branch in their location. That branch would be where they did their
work and they would keep master in sync with the main tree (upstream) by
running git pull.
To merge the overlay changes into the master, a developer would use a
git remote to add the kde overlay to his tree, add a kde branch that
tracked the remote kde branch, rebase that on current master, merge it
into master to create a fast-forward merge then push.
I think that probably sounds more complicated than it is, so let me know
if you need clarification.
