I think there could be a way to make both parts happy : rather than just adding the info that it is an old repo in some README file in the root directory of the svn repo, committing also an svn delete command on all the contents of trunk could help clarify this : by default, users checking (or updating !) trunk would have an empty working copy as a result (and also just the informative README file). But tags would still be there, and also the entire repository history, as a svn delete is just deleting files in the commited revision, not deleting the history (one could retrieve a working copy by just emitting svn up -r N-1 where N would be the "deletion" commit.
