if there are no commits, what are the advantages of svn over git?
I believe the problem git has is with changing binaries, not with
binaries per se.

especially that this would be to stay for a long time. I would be
surprised if KDE administrators would accept newly introduced
svn repositories.

not that I like this idea... most data files are SVG and if during
conversion to git all ancient versions of them are recompressed
with 0% keeping their names as svgz as proposed by PovAddict,
git can compress them and their diffs just as well as any text file.

unless tests prove otherwise, I cannot see any advantages in this
archive.
