You're running a local server pointing to a path on a remote machine
for the location of the Subversion repository itself? You're just
setting yourself up for a mess if so.

You're still using svnserve 1.3.
FYI, you do not need to use a Cygwin SVN client on Windows. There is a
native Win32 client that's much better behaved WRT other Windows apps.
The Cygwin client thinks it's on *NIX, so line-endings will get
confused between that client and regular Windows apps.
