This sounds like you're missing a dependency required by subversion, 
although I can't see what it is from your cygcheck output. I use 
subversion daily in both 1.5 and 1.7 and it works fine, so this is not a 
general problem.

I suggest sending the output of "cygcheck /bin/svn" to the list as an 
attachment.

You can also try running "strace /bin/svn". This will produce a lot of 
output which I would ignore for now. If svn is having a problem finding 
another DLL, strace should open a pop-up telling you what is missing.

Please post any findings back to the list so I can fix the svn package's 
dependencies if needed.
