I feel that this might work because Microsoft says that Windows Search
excludes subtrees whose parent has the .svn or .git directory. So perhaps
changing .svn to _svn will make Windows Search index SVN working copies.

But I'm unsure if this is a viable workaround. I haven't heard about SVN
client installations using SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK for many years, and I
haven't tested this myself.
