Yeah! Should be an easy patch, too, want to try it?

Yup, what Branko said.
This is really mostly a patch to APR, plus a minor patch to Subversion
to use the new functionality added to APR.

Nice analysis, that pretty much resolves the question, yeah...

No problem. I thought it best to ask... Apart from the layer violation
setting a file read-only might lost the hidden attr if its not done in
the APR function.
I have the svn client built and found where to set the hidden
attrib. I've been working on the use cases. I think that at a minimum
the following must work for this to be worth doing.
1. SVN works
2. Copying the work space with explorer must copy the
hidden files.
3. MSDEV Find in Files skips hidden files
4. DIR /S <filename> does not find files in .svn
5. Barry's Emacs does not find files in .svn
So far I have:
No test on 1.
Pass on 2.
Fail on 3. However MSDEV is typically configured to look for particular
file types. *.h,*.cpp etc. Its does not need the change.
Fail on 4. Need to set hidden on ever file in .svn to make them
vanish from dir /s
Fail on 5.
I conclude that its not worth changing svn because of fails on (3) and
(5) and the extra complexity to fix (4).
I'm going to add code to my Emacs to deal with meta data directories
like .svn and .cvs.

Not even in your wildest dreams! IMO support for setting the hidden
attribute should go into APR, see apr_file_attrs_set. You'll have to
define a new constant, APR_FILE_ATTR_HIDDEN, and don't forget to handle
it in all implementations of that function.

O.k. I'll try. I've not attempted to build svn on windows
yet, that should be fun.
I know that I need to follow whats in HACKING. Looks
like I'll add the windows code inside of #ifdef SVN_WIN32
right?
