I don't use Windows, and I've never used Cygwin, and I don't know how
they interact with each other, but based on what you say, it sounds
like files created in the Cygwin environment get standard *nix
permissions of 644, while files that get created in the Windows
environment show up in Cygwin with 700 permissions. You could test if
this analysis is correct by creating a text file in Notepad and
touching an empty file on the Cygwin command line, and seeing what
their respective permissions then are.

To get Subversion to set the execute bit when you check out, you need
to set the "svn:executable" property on the file. See here:
