Doing this would kill a *BIG* benefit of subversion and this should never
ever happen! Doing this would break cross platform usability. You would no
longer be able to update your working copy once on windows and once on a
unix system. This would be bad bad bad. We use the same svn working copies
on unix and windows platforms all together. And never ever had any
problems
with the .svn folders. It plainly runs. It should be one folder for *ALL*
platforms, but this is not the discussion for TSVN. This would be a
discussion for SVN at all.

Only my $0.02
