Re: Disabling automatic setting of svn:executable property

Sorry to say so, but this can't be cause the SVN client hides on console
as well...and also on Windows...I don't know what the user really
did?...May be he mistaken the username input with the password input?

First installed under Cygwin is not installed under windwos. These are
two different worlds.

Furthermore if the user has correctly set the SVN_EDITOR or EDITOR
environment variable correctly to SVN_EDITOR=C:\...WhatEver\vim.exe this
will work...But this has to be done first...usually on a Unix like
system the EDITOR variable is set to default editor vi...
This default does not exist on Windows systems....

As described above...
