What would that be good for?
Apart from that, if you hide files/folders from there without Subversion
(the library) knowing it you could end up committing those hidden
entries anyway!

If you want to do that, I suggest you use the TSVN tab in the explorer

Why don't you just hit F5?

I think you're the only one who thinks that unified diffs are easier to
visualize than normal diffs. So this 'feature' would be too special.
