Yes, it can and *does* use the same APIs as does TSVN, because they
both use APR, but: if APR is built on top of cygwin, it may be a
cygwin limitation to actually limit files to 250 characters.

As I said before, try to use an absolute path (with the windows native
binaries) and you should see paths much longer than 250.

No, but it uses a Unix emulation library... We don't know what the
emulation glue does for us (or does not do for us...)
