The file permissions are set by the subversion library, so you need to
ask on the users at subversion.tigris.org list. You must compare TSVN
with the windows command line client, not the cygwin client.

There may be a difference between the windows command line client and
the cygwin command line client. The cygwin client is buggy and not
recommended. Also, you should not use the cygwin client on the same
working copy as the windows client (svn or tsvn). They are not
guaranteed to be compatible.
