Do you suggest me to do that every time before checkout?
And my other collaborators should revert that setting when they want them with
wrappings suitable for their tools?
I'm using tools that suitable for me. If I can save my repository
administrator a headache, i will certainly do that. In such case it means that
I'm using Subversion built against cygwin-1.dll to export certain progects to
my working copy.

*sigh* Please stay on topic. All this your twist has nothing to do with OP's
problem. Not even a thing.
