It's generally considered to be a (very) bad practice to include these
types of per-user configuration files inside the SCM. Check out most
svn:ignore and .gitignore in the root directory of any project for
further reference; you'll almost certainly see .classpath, .project,
.settings for eclipse, *.iml, *.ipr, *.iwl, *.swp for intellij, and
nbproject for netbeans.

I've read your message twice and it still isn't clear to me what
you're trying to accomplish. Can you provide a use case for how this
enhancement would be exploited? Would it echo m-eclipse-p
functionality?
