A more Subversion-ish solution would be to add custom Properties (see the description in the SVN book [1]) to the folders to store the descriptions. They fit a literal interpretation of being "exportable", for example using the command line client svn proplist -v [folder]. Depending on your client and server they may be more or less visible for the users.
