I don't want to speak out of turn, but this is a common problem with
cygwin. You are using a native Windows program in an emulated Unix
environment, things are almost guaranteed to go wrong. You either need
to use a cygwin compiled version of SVN, or get out of cygwin. All MHO,
but this is the type of reason that I stopped using cygwin, and started
using native Windows apps when I work on Windows.
