You could, but ls -a is a lot closer by than:
(open menu) Tools -> Folder options -> View -> Show hidden files and folders
OK
And, after seeing that there is a .svn going back to the same menu to
disable showing the hidden stuff again. And don't tell me I might aswell
leave the showing of hidden stuff on, because then there is no added value
in hiding.
