As for the idea of getting Subversion to set the hidden attribute, there
are some mailing list discussions on this:
2003-01-25 "hide .svn on win"
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=30009
2002-09-06 "Why not hide .SVN dir on windows?"
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=21394&list=dev
In the later one kfogel says they "concluded that 'hidden' was not
appropriate for .svn". I haven't read the earlier thread so I don't
know why.
