Cygwin repositories

Hi, I've got a bit of a problem in that I have both Cygwin-based svn
directories, and non-Cygwin based ones on my Windows machine.

The best possible thing would be if TortioseSVN would just work properly
with the Cygwin repositories. (Right now it does some things ok, but
chekins fail reporting that they can't find the repository named
'file:///c/some/cygwin/path').

The obvious fix is to make svn work seamlessly with both Win32 and
Cygwin repositories, but clearly that's not an issue for TortioseSVN's
developers.
However there are some things Tortiose could do to help:

* One fix would be if TortioseSVN could invoke Cygwin's svn client when
it recognizes Cygwin-like paths.
* Short of that, I would be happy if TortioseSVN just didn't report
Cygwin-based directories as being under SVN control. Or if it used some
sort of special iconset to indicate "Hey yo! This directory is
Cygwin-based, so you won't be able to do checkins and other stuff with
these files".

Right now it's very frustrating because I'm never really sure whether a
particular directory is under cygwin or win32 svn control.

P.S. I actually woudn't mind converting my Cygwin svn repositories over
to standard Win32, but there don't seem to be any tools available for
that purpose.

Regards,
Bill
