The cygwin case could be surprising, and it is moderately common these
days for people to share a network home directory across
windows/linux/macs. It really isn't svn's problem that sharing a
working copy in unexpected ways can confuse the 'native' concept, but
it does come up on the list moderately frequently. Basically it is a
bad idea to share a workspace at all, even with yourself under a
different OS. And it is generally unnecessary since each platform can
update its own copy easily enough.
