but this way the comments are "only" in the repository. When I am offline with
my notebook; having a look at a file; no repository access. The I really
enjoy having comments in the file itself including as much information as
possible.

The file itself is one dimension, the repository information is another dimension.
Having access to both gives you all the information you need and
a "two dimensional" system.

Having no annotation in the file or wherever leaves you out in the rain.
But I guess this discussion is pretty philosophical and so the
opinions are quite personal...
