Huh... you're not supposed to use kdepim 4.5 or trunk, but rather kdepim 4.4 
(even with everything else from KDE SC being from 4.5). kdepim-4.4 doesn't use 
akonadi much (only for the addressbook), and is the current stable version of 
kdepim.

I didn't change the way the icon works, I only made it possible to assign a 
shortcut to the action "switch to cervisia", so that you can do that much 
faster.

But the thing about being in a SVN tree is actually much better handled 
automatically now: you don't need the cervisia part anymore.
In its default icon mode, konqueror (thanks to the dolphin code) shows a 
little square on the corner of each icon which is in svn/git, and actions such 
as update, commit, etc. are provided in the context menu.
This is available in KDE SC >= 4.5, you might have to check the checkboxes 
[ ] Git   [ ] Subversion
at the bottom of Configure Konqueror / File Management / Services, to enable 
the feature. This is better integrated than cervisiapart, since there's no 
need to switch to a different mode, and it's better maintained too, since the 
dolphin maintainer is actively taking care of it.
You just have to install kdesdk/dolphin-plugins.

If you use CVS you might be missing the support for it though, but it sounds 
like something that could be added in that framework.
