The repository now called kdelibs.git was imported from:

	/trunk/KDE/kdelibs			-> master
	/branches/KDE/(\d.\d)/kdelibs	-> KDE/\1

The branching done for KDE 4.0, for example, was done:

	svn cp $SVNROOT/trunk/KDE $SVNROOT/branches/KDE/4.0

You can see it in the log:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r757128 | mueller | 2008-01-04 07:09:11 -0200 (Fri, 04 Jan 2008) | 2 lines
Changed paths:
   A /branches/KDE/4.0 (from /trunk/KDE:757127)

Creating KDE 4.0 branch

------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see, there's no file path changing that would match 
/branches/KDE/(\d.\d)/kdelibs.
