What exactly happens when you "repair hidden items"?

[George Koulomzin]

I have noticed that "repair hidden items" seems to ungroup members of a 
group if they were hidden.

Is this a bug, or a feature?

Also, where does the "hidden-ness" of an image get saved?  What are the 
semantics?  Is it for group member hiding only?  Is it also used in 
versioning?   Anywhere else?

I have a lot of images which /are not in groups /but don't show when I 
would expect them to show, and re-appear when I "repair hidden images".  
  I have other images which are in groups and which should be hidden.  
Running "repair hidden images" fixes the one and breaks the other.

It's a lot of work to do by hand, and I'm thinking of building some SQL 
to help me.

Thanks in advance!
