As I understood a 'svn move' will keep the history but it requires an
immediate commit so the compilation will possibly break for a short
period of time. But there are also other places in the code where the
2 appears for example in file names like in 'kmymoney2.cpp'. Renaming
the kmymoney2 directory to kmymoney would also eliminate the need to
create symlinks to headers during compilation.
