Bug Description

Users with branches from several projects may well have a structure like:
loggerhead-root/
  project1/
    trunk
    ...
  project2/
    trunk
    ...
  project3/
    trunk
    ...

It would be nice for such layouts (which loggerhead serves happily) to be able to show a description in the view leading up to branches. E.g. 'project 1 is a foo bar baz', 'project 2 is a quux morbid tweeter' etc.

I'm not sure if this is something for a config file, or for a .file in the root of 'project3' or what.

We would have to change some of the current structure for it to know about "projects" and not just "branches", but it is good to have.

We should fix bug 242270 first of course.

Then after this, how about we just look for a file '.loggerhead' whenever we're generating a listing for a non-branch directory and include it verbatim before the listing?
