Why? What is the definition of "hidden".

Your project has these things. To the extent that my projects have them,
I deal with them with setup, build, and install scripts. I don't actually
see why people expect a newly-made checkout (working) directory to behave
in all respects like an installed copy of the project. This is not what
the SCM tools are designed for.
