You are right to worry. Subversion properties are not stored very
efficiently, and you probably don't want them to be large -- certainly
not larger than the file's contents.
By the way, could you turn off the right-justification option in your
mailer? It makes your mail very hard to read (for me at least, I
suspect also for others). Thanks.

Why not just keep two parallel trees, one mirroring the other? One
tree is the content, the other is the discuss files?
Or: pick one special name, say "x-discuss", as a subdir in each
directory, and store the discuss files in there, with the same names
as their corresponding files in the parent directory.
