I don't like a cluttered trunk - sorting apps into modules is already
artificial enough. We could discuss moving kdeplayground-admin into
kdeplayground/kdeadmin - but even that I don't really like. We have
77 modules so far in svn.kde.org, that's quite a lot but still easy to
overview. Easier than wondering if qt-copy is KDE/ or misc/ when
browsing.

For branches I agree. We have 155 branches without unlabeled ones. That's already
a lot and they are pretty hard to overview. But if you add /branches/appname you're
not easing to find a branch. So I would split /branches into /branches/work and
/branches/maintaince - this should split the list of branches enough and I can script
it very easily to move the branches after the import.
But so far this whole layout discussion is between you and me. No-one else seems
to have an oppinion about it ;(

symlinks are the only real solution as long as relative properties do not work (and
I guess they would require a newer client version). Of course they have plenty of
disadvantages but also quite some advantages.

I'd like to add:
5) to migrate CVSROOT and delete it afterwards or ignore it? The history of it
is part of the history of KDE's cvs so it's a bad sad, but of course it doesn't serve
any good.
