I think that effort was really strange. It attempted to have a refactored version of code while keeping around the non-refactored version and allow to switch between them at runtime. It looks like somebody wanted to avoid creating an SVN branch at all costs.
No, somebody had originally done this stuff in an SVN branch but was told SVN branches were bad because it made the code harder for other people to work on, and that the code should be integrated into the main codebase.
As I vaguely remember, at least one of the reasons for starting it was to get collapsable toolbars
That is incorrect. The reason was to convert the desktop code into C++/Gtkmm.
