Yes, the cygwin client can cause big problems, not just with TSVN but
with the official Subversion client too.
One sure way to screw up your working copy: set the svn:eol-style
property to 'native'. Cygwin will checkout files with LF endings, all
other clients with CRLF endings (on windows). Make some changes to
such a file and try to commit again. After about the third try, you're
screwed.

There are some other issues as well. But those are a little more
complicated to explain.

In short: don't use the cygwin client with any other windows
Subversion client. If you do, you'll be screwed for sure.
