To elaborate:

The branch is based on KDE 3.5. So there is quite some porting to do. 
Especially since I would have
done a few design decision differently with knowledge about KDE 4 libs 
new features, like e.g. KJob
classes.

Also some stuff is already pretty old (also in trunk). For example the 
file list view is hand made and without
KDirWatch support. The diff view is based on the QtTableView class which 
doesn't exist since Qt 2.x.

But there is also a bright side. The basic daily work functionality 
works. You can subtly change between
CVS and SVN working copies and things like update, commit, add/remove, 
etc will just work.

So I hope someone will finish the subversion support and port it to KDE 
4.x. That would be great!

Bye,
Christian
