Going back to the original error report:
Looking at the error(CreateProcess error=206), you get this error when
starting the process, not after the process started.
This implies that the length problem is either with the name of the process
(=svn.exe) or with the directory in which you are trying to start the
process.
If the path length error would have been in an argument, or a subpath you
would have received an error from svn, not from the process starting svn.
In general Subversion 1.7 and later shouldn't have problems with long paths,
as long as all the (long) passed paths are in the absolute form.
Long relative paths have different problems, as the Windows api to transform
those paths to their absolute form doesn't support long paths.
You can probably solve your issue by just starting 'svn' explicitly from
'C:\' or some other safe directory.
