Fine by me but that would mean that KDEPIM is readonly for one week extra.

Yes.

However how this should be done seems to be undescided at the KDE level. The 
current practise by the sysadmins is to remove all files from SVN and only 
leave a readme stating where the files are now. Then after a week (or so) the 
entire dir is removed. As I understand it this means that one need to know at 
what revision the conversion was done to be able to browse the SVN copy. I 
would prefer to make the SVN copy unbuildable (cmake issuing an error or 
something) and leave everything as is.
