[Kde-extra-gear] Rethinking position on trunk x branches

Hi everybody,

This transition phase is quite a challenge for everybody and it will require 
an effort proportional to the size of each program. Those with smaller 
programs will probably be able to switch faster. But we wouldn't want to 
loose our flagship programs (which tend to be big).

So in my opinion the gist of the previous discussion was to leave the KDE3 
version in trunk and I would agree to that.

For a while I'll continue to maintain the KDE3-version of KDiff3 anyway, just 
because KDE4 isn't there yet.

For string translation: I assume that strings won't change that much just 
because of the switch. Would it be possible to create pot-files that contain 
all strings from both versions? So it wouldn't matter where these versions 
actually are under SVN. We could have just another subdirectory (even in 
trunk): "extragear-kde4". (For SVN it doesn't really matter. The dir would 
still have all properties of a branch, but scripty can create pot files that 
contain the merged strings.)

Cheers,
Joachim
