RE: Why not hide .SVN dir on windows?

I woud say default yes. Mostly for consistency between OSes. Under the Unix variants, these folders are hidden, they should be hidden under windows as well. If you need arguments for hiding the folder just look back at what the arguements for hiding them under unix was. (I have no idea what these are, but there must have been some reason for doing this).
