Sorry, I misread Greg's mail. I thought he wrote "editor root
directory", not "repository root directory". Karl is right, we can
set properties on any editor-root, and therefore if we set editor-root
equal to repository-root, we can do what we want.
But I was simply advocating that we be able to delete an editor-root
too. We can put a safeguard in the fs to avoid deleting
repository-roots.
