I can do this :

If you have a reference to the polyline

var polyline = L.polyline(...);

Then you can use

map.addLayer(polyline);//For show
map.removeLayer(polyline);// For hide

at the moment I think there is no native method to only hide/show, maybe in the 0.7 version

Other solution is to access to the object container, in a old commet from the maintainer

I don't think there's an easy solution, for tile layers at least. :( I'll try to handle this sooner.
For vectors, you can change path._container.style.display, and for markers - marker._image.style.display and marker._shadow.style.display.
