However, I must say, I have known for over a day that this import is 
faulty. Take, for instance:

$ git log --name-status -r --follow -- 
KDE/kdelibs/kdeui/kernel/kapplication.h | tail -n7
commit 064e3779a6f2ec3baf11c2059a9a7308151f549d
Author: mueller <mueller at localhost>
Date:   Mon Jul 4 17:46:45 2005 +0000

    update FSF address

A       KDE/kdelibs/kdecore/kapplication.h


Notice two things about this commit:

1) the pathname that was added is not the pathname that I asked for. That 
means Git is following the rename that happened.

2) the date is in 2005, not in 1998 as you'd expect for kapplication.h. 

The reason for that is commit 409203, a.k.a. the one that moved 
trunk/kdelibs to trunk/KDE/kdelibs. That is a directory copy-with-history 
in Subversion, but svn-fast-export ignores all directory changes.

I have corrected the problem in the new tool.

But I have to ask now: what do we want to do with this repository now? We 
know it's faulty...
