Brane, I think you've misunderstood what happens in Subclipse. The is_
api can only replace direct string comparisons in the Subclipse code.
However, there are places where Subclipse must pass the admin dir names
in to Eclipse code, that is not controlled by the plugin, so those
places cannot be modified to call the is_ api to replace the string
comparison.

As Mark pointed out later in the thread, there is in fact client code
that needs to do that, in order to suppress indexing/browsing/display of
the folder in the project tree. And that's done by the Eclipse core,
not by the Subclipse plugin, so a get_ api that returns all possible
admin dir names is what's really needed.
In the interim, for 1.3 release, it's probably acceptable for Subclipse
to be modified to always register ".svn", and conditionally also
register the return of the get_ api, if it's different from ".svn".
