While you're at it, consider a command to convert between the two methods of
storing metadata. For example, say I have a working copy with the metadata
stored in my home directory. Then, suddenly I want to share it... I can run
the command, which will gather the metadata and distribute it into the
directory structure. The reverse would require me to specify the destination
location of the metadata.

These cool power-user features are nice, as long as can keep a simple core
for the low-skilled users who need to be trained every step of the way. As
acceptance of subversion grows, the percentage of power-users in the
user-base will decrease.
