I am currently looking to make patch to implement metadata in darcs. I will 
surelly send a mail in few days about this.

I see things like this:

A file store per file metadata in _darcs, and in a pristine file,

I create a 2 new patch types: propset, propdel

Patch about properties never conflict, aka last setting win.

Properties having name begining by  'darcs:' have special meaning for darcs 
(imagine darcs:eol, darcs:encoding, darcs:executable).

darcs tools will then have new command: propset, propdel and propget.

darcs will automatically set some properties: darcs:executable for example.

But well, first, I have to learn haskell... I am reading doc since yesterday 
evening only...

This is just how I see things, idea come from svn, but well, I accept all 
comment, also if someone want to start works, I am not against ;)
