The .svn directory is described in the book
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook/ch08s03.html), in particular the
"Pristine Copies and Property Files" section at the bottom. I believe
that the developers have a stated policy that no changes to the API
which make it backwards-incompatible will occur in the 1.x releases; I'm
assuming the contents of the .svn directory counts as part of the API,
since its specification is published.
