Or it's a problem with the operator. :-) Seems I wasn't actually running 
in Cygwin 1.7 when I thought I was. Plus, I was using a /cygdrive path 
with case-sensitivity turned off.

I will retry again today with a proper 1.7 environment. If this works 
with 1.7, I'm not going to try to patch svn for 1.5. Otherwise, I'll 
investigate further.
