Hi, Good solution. One small modification to help anyone get to the old tree.
Rather than switching the main branch and making it empty, if you branch trunk to a new branch "archive" and then make trunk empty as you suggest, it will be possible to point anyone who gets a 404 to the new "archive" branch. Tagging the last commit from SVN would also help keep a permanent record. Only those URLs that are not pointing to a commit/tag/branch (other than trunk) will be broken and the README left in trunk can explain how to change the URL.
