Note: Cygwin is not Windows! This means that svn behaves differently depending
on whether you install the Cygwin version or the MS Windows version. Further,
even Cygwin itself can be configured differently, in particular concerning
the line endings, so that's another thing to look at.

Yep, user error. ;)

SVN does so by default, you have to explicitly tell it to mess with the line
endings, see the mentioned svn:eol-style property. Also take a look at
your "autoprops", which may or may not be appropriate for your project. A
third option to look at would be pre-commit hooks that check for proper line
endings.

Take a look at the settings in the diff dialog, you can control how much
whitespace is significant there.
