The answer is on the tortoisesvn download page:

	"Special version for Win2k/XP or higher: (We
	provide NO support for this!) uses _svn folders
	instead of .svn to work around the VS.NET bug with
	web projects. If you don't use web projects then
	please use the official version. Note: working
	copies created by this version are incompatible
	with other Subversion clients!"


FWIW, I like _bzr.  It's enough to say "I'm special!";
it's going overboard to make it hidden.

(I always wonder why the linux kernel config file is a
dotfile; it doesn't make any sense to me.)
