no, the author starts his submission against qt5 (irrespective what he
actually started with). we do not want to get (even further) into the
situation where commits are missing from qt5, so a clear "qt5 first"

applicable to qt5 (primarily because a platform was dropped).

as i announced before, there is the git-qt-cherry-pick script in the
qtrepotools repository to assist with that. it's not much, but it helps.
if it doesn't rewrite some paths you want rewritten, fix it.
