wrong mailing list.
Packages is for discussion between package managers,
not for bugs or help.

Forwarded to the right one: cygwin

$ which svn
/usr/bin/svn

I guess is very clear

I do not understand why you need different file for cygwin.

Commit on cygwin should follow cygwin rules (unix like),
so something like

svn co your_server /cygdrive/c/TomTom/tmp/release/myapp

should be fine.

See also the cygpath usage for conversion between
cygwin and MS path styles

$ cygpath -u "c:\temp"
/cygdrive/c/temp

$ cygpath -u "c:\TomTom\tmp\release\myapp"
/cygdrive/c/TomTom/tmp/release/myapp
