Do you mean in the sidebar? If so, you need to modify the folder_exclude_patterns setting. The default value for this is "folder_exclude_patterns": [".svn", ".git", ".hg", "CVS"]. In your case, you would want to make it "folder_exclude_patterns": [".svn", ".hg", "CVS"] You can access user settings by going to Preferences -> Settings - User. Note that this will be applied across all of your projects. If you only want it for a particular project, you can create project specific settings. http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/projects.html

Press "Command" + "Shift" + "." (dot) to show hidden files in the Mac OSX file chooser dialog.
Solution 3 - Macos
Sublime text makes use of file open dialog from its host computer.
In Ubuntu, just enter Ctrl+H to toggle the setting to view hidden directories and files. The setting is persistent even after the close of the dialog.
In Windows, go to options/settings in Windows Manager, and enable "View hidden files".
I do not have Mac, it could be enabled.
