The trouble is, that was multiple source control system moves ago.  KDE 
is on git now, and was on subversion (svn) before that.  I expect the svn 
history was either carried over (perhaps in separate add-on git repos, 
making it an option people could take or leave as desired) or perhaps 
remains available in the now-frozen svn repos.

But I'd strongly suspect KDE 1.x was before svn, perhaps on cvs and 
perhaps on something predating even that.  If care wasn't deliberately 
and specifically taken in that first move off of whatever back then, and 
continuing thru today, to preserve those sources and that history, then 
it's very likely long lost to history, with the possible exception of 
some dev's backup on an old hard drive in some trunk in some attic, 
somewhere.
