Uh, we need to check this. But AFAIK we currently only use the ACL on
Miller's branch.

Yes, I agree with this, but this can be dealt with after The Big
Change, I suppose. For the externals we also should to take care not
to break the extended Build-system. Some changes will be necessary to
the Build of course, because of the usual trunk/tags/branches layout
in SVN.

I cannot really comment on how to best deal with the branches of Pd's
sources.

Let's do it mid-September then, when I'm in Graz. ;) 

I would actually prefer if someone else than me would do it, as I'm
not that experienced especially with CVS internals, so I would gladly
let you take over.
