Glad to hear there's at least a good reason for making the attempt. :-) I wasn't aware that one could set the folder name on the server. IIRC, though, the .svn (or _svn) folders don't actually exist in the repository, only in the working copy. I believe that Versions uses the same Subversion libraries as everyone else (libsvn_client and libsvn_wc) for dealing with local copies.

Are you using TortoiseSVN to *check out*, or to "create the folders in the repository" in the strict sense? If TortoiseSVN does The Right Thing™ on checkout, then IMO this constitutes a bug in Versions. Also, once you have a working copy, does Versions recognize the _svn directories? (In other words, it the problem only with creation, or does it continue when accessing your working copy?) When reporting it, please clarify where the _svn behavior is specified (e.g. in the actual repository config, or in the client app) and try to provide examples.

Good luck,

We have some old clients that are using projects built in Visual
Studio 2002, and it has some kind of problem with the .svn folder, so
we switched to _svn. Even though it is set from the SVN server,
Versions was still creating the folder as .svn rather than _svn.

For the time being, I am using Tortoise on a Windows VM to create the
folders in th repository.

The first question that comes to mind is "Why?", as in "What do you
hope to accomplish by doing so?" Do you just want them to be visible,
or is there a more involved goal? Personally, I find it refreshing
that the ".svn" is invisible—I shudder when working with cvs and
seeing "CVS" directories everywhere in the source tree. Among other
things, it really mucks up column-based browsing in the Finder...

Is there a way to have Versions create the "svn" folders with an
underscore rather than a period? So "_svn" rather than ".svn"
