Thank you for your reply.  I am unclear on where else it was mentioned
about the transformation, it is possible I missed a reply.  

I was not aware that vc-svn.el interacted with any subversion specific
functions in the C code. From reading through vc-svn.el it appeared to
just call the svn executable for any svn functions.  The change that I
had proposed mostly just made sure that vc-svn.el was aware of this
possibility, since not checking for the _svn directory would cause it
to incorrectly assume that files were not under subversion control.
So this would not be a case of .foo -> _foo but specifically .svn ->
_svn.

I'm not trying to be argumentative and appreciate your response.
