I don't think that's an issue if you got full directories.

Yes, HEAD is the default where everything goes, which for main apps now is 
KDE4. Thus the difference.

That's really strange! Andras is better at this than me, but it looks like 
something is odd in your admin directory or system settings. Probably a 
hiccup in the install... Try
make distclean
It may tell you there are no make targets, don't recall if it requires 
makefiles, but something could be dirty. You can also try
svn up
If something was in the process of being updated you might not have gotten it, 
or might have gotten an incompatible file. That could also explain your 
error. If it's not building after all that there could be a bug on your systm 
OR in SVN and it wouldn't show up to us as we have makefiles... Hopefully 
Andras will answer on this.

It said a particular commt was a problem, possibly you checked out during an 
update to admin. Update.

Let me know if that works. It should work and you probably just checked out 
mid stream of a commit or something. Hmmm??? I don't see any recent commits 
here. Maybe you had a problem with lost packets. Update and try again. If you 
still have a problem we should know about it. I'll do a fresh checkout and 
confirm if it still does it and Andras hasn't chimed in.
