Re: wcprops and wc-ng

Right now, the wc_db stores 'depth' and 'translated_size' for the
working copy. Those are entirely client-side values (there may be
more; those two are just off the top of my head). I'd already noticed
the "weirdness" of our schema holding these two concepts. Supporting a
more general "client-side only" property store might be an interesting
way to deal with those values, with wcprops, and to support
third-party clients.

I'll jot down a note about this, and let it percolate for a bit...

Cheers,
