I hadn't thought of that one (I shy away from shared WC's because of the
problems with CVS).

That's the other option I originally discussed in my #3, but it means
that each and every directory in the WC must contain a duplicate of the
available server config data. We aren't usually talking about a lot of
data, but it is a consideration. It's more of a problem with inherited
properties (this time assuming that those are associated with directory
properties).
