I understand. Thank you for your reply, I will do without. I am just 
curious; is the problem really with svn? I thought that the Cygwin 
libraries are responsible for converting Windows path to Cygwin paths. I 
am surprised that svn has a different behavior depending of the path 
format; it suggests that some code of svn receives the Windows path 
instead of a converted Cygwin path, thus explaining the different 
behavior.

I am not at all a Cygwin expert and I am just speculating.

Best regards,
Hans Deraogn
