If you mount the volume in textmode, Cygwin alters the files under the covers,
i.e. _without Subversion's knowledge_. You cannot use textmode and Subversion.
  Textmode is an evil hack, always has been an evil hack, and always will be an
evil hack. There is no reason to use it.

Nanoseconds. Probably reset because the Cygwin library does it's evil deed with
textmode and just truncates the nanoseconds.
