I'm still a newbie, but does it have to be even that complicated? How about:
// svn_wc.h
#ifdef WIN32
#define SVN_WC_ADM_DIR_NAME "svn";
#else
#define SVN_WC_ADM_DIR_NAME ".svn";
#endif
The folder is flagged as 'hidden' on my system by default, so that should
meet the "hidden folder" design. If the period starting the folder name is
the true problem, doesn't this solve it?
