How to set categoryGroupVisibilities in Permissionset XML for Metadata API

Question

I'm trying to transition some of my Profile settings to Permission Sets to make them reusable. Trying to set the Knowledge Data Category access in the Permission Set. I can do it through the UI but not through the XML. This means I can't pass the configuration change through source control which is necessary.

Profile manages this through the categoryGroupVisibilities element but that doesn't seem to work for Permission Sets. Profile: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_profile.htm

Permission Set: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_permissionset.htm

Am I missing some other kind of junction type or other metadata I should be able to manage?

Unfortunately Winter 19 added the categoryGroupVisibilities field to Profiles but not to Permission Sets. See the Winter 19 Release Notes below. This will likely be fixed in a future version of the Metadata API.
