[cvsnt] Not hiding CVS folders

[Erik Zeek]

Thanks for the suggestions.  They'll work fine.

I'd like to put a vote in for a registry key to disable this feature though.

Winzip has no problem with hidden files, you could use that (it'll even 
restore the attributes on unzip AFAIK)...  if it's causing you grief you 
can just display all the CVS directories in explorer (using 'find') then 
take the hidden property off - CVS won't hide them again.
