An advantage of this scheme is that you could put any other repository
meta-information in the top-level directory.  Eg, a README describing
the purpose of the repository, scripts for syncing it with other
repositories, a config file for an "archive manager", etc.  So I'm
already somewhat fond of this idea!

Note it would degenerate to the current situation when _darcs/prefs/root
does not exist.
