Sorry, I goofed up and included the wrong version of the test log
(please see my second mail with the same subject to Subversion dev
from 2003-02-04 18:10 for the log of the failed test w/o angle brackets).
But I think this can be considered to be resolved anyway:

I confirmed this under Cygwin - if the following patch is applied to
commit_tests.py, the test passes (I'm just not sure which would be
the correct substitution character for the angle bracket under
Cygwin):
*** /tmp/subversion-r4503/subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/commit_tests.py-orig Wed Jan 22 08:16:09 2003
--- /tmp/subversion-r4503/subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/commit_tests.py Wed Feb 5 09:51:59 2003
***************
*** 1040,1045 ****
--- 1040,1053 ----
if svntest.main.windows:
angle_name = '$angle$'
nasty_name = '#![]{}()$$%'
+ elif sys.platform == "cygwin":
+ # Cygwin is Unix as far as Python is concerned, but we can't test angle
+ # brackets because the underlying M$ OS refuses to create filenames
+ # containing them; also, substituting dollars for the angle brackets makes
+ # the test fail because `$$' is expanded to the current PID by the Unix
+ # shell at some stage of the test execution:
+ angle_name = '&cygwin-angle&'
+ nasty_name = '#![]{}()&&%'
else:
angle_name = '<angle>'
nasty_name = '#![]{}()<>%'
So I think it's safe to move to Subversion under Cygwin, too :).
Thanks for the quick response,
Stefan
