As far as I can recall the PEP doesn't cover metadata at all. Subversion
supports metadata in properties via svn prop[set|get|del]. Do the DVCS
support properties, too? What about svn:ignore (ignore files and
directories via glob style patterns), svn:keywords (expand keywords like
$ID$), svn:executable (chmods a file a+x) and svn:eol-style (forces a
line ending style).
