The fact is that you would have to fetch the properties for every
folder visible in the repo browser, which means that number of server
round trips. This discussion has already been had recently on this
list concerning "additional columns in repo browser". OK, that was for
files and folders, but there could still be a *lot* of folders
showing.

I guess you could just get that info when you expand a folder at the
same time as you get the child info.
