external programs

Hello all,

My apologies if this has already been answered, I just haven't found it yet.

Whenever my svn client tries to invoke an external program (diff, diff3,
etc), Windows XP starts a process and runs the command, but drops the
parameters somewhere, so I get something similar to the following:

C:\cygwin\bin>svn diff
http://fe406507.engineering.com:8080/svn/vstepper/branches/dev663@13
http://fe406507.engineering.com:8080/svn/vstepper/branches/dev663@14
Index: gui/gui_lib.lib
===================================================================
Binary files gui/gui_lib.lib (revision 13) and gui/gui_lib.lib
(revision 14) differ
svn: Error calling external program
svn: d:\cygwin\bin\diff.exe returned 2

I'm using Windows XP with all the latest service packs and svn client

C:\cygwin\bin>svn --version
svn, version 0.19.0 (r5240)
   compiled Mar 11 2003, 08:48:12

Copyright (C) 2000-2003 CollabNet.
Subversion is open source software, see http://subversion.tigris.org/

The following repository access (RA) modules are available:

* ra_dav : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV (DeltaV) protocol.
  - handles 'http' schema
  - handles 'https' schema
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
  - handles 'file' schema
* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
  - handles 'svn' schema

I've put copies of diff.exe in in c:\cygwin\bin, but I don't think that I'm
having the C: vs D: drive problem, because the function is being invoked.

BTW, I'm really impressed with subversion so far. Keep up the excellent
work guys!

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian
