+5. What about storing the database _per directory_. That's what MacOS does (the .DS_Store file)

+    - PRO  
+        - copy of an _entire directory_ will transport the database with it  
+        - database stored on a remote directory (sshfs, nfs, etc) will work properly  
+        - the database only needs to store the basename, not the entire path name
+        - if a removable drive is remounted on a different mount point, it'll still work
+
+    - CON  
+        - won't work on directories where the user doesn't have write permission  
+        - so, for example, the user can't add comments to /usr/bin/\*
