I'm assuming that your script expects svn to be in the PATH, so you
could check to see if the path to the svn client lives within Cygwin's
installation:

if [ $(type -p svn) = '/usr/bin/svn' ]; then
  echo "Found Cygwin's svn client"
fi

Unless someone goes out of their way to confound things, this should be
good enough.
