I run

  $ svn up

enter password and now all command work successful !

So I remove 
'/cygdrive/d/tmp/.subversion/svn.simple/1c08ce99a650bca1853cd749b4962d8'
and try again  authenticate myself by 'svn ls' command.

And get previous buggy behavior.

So  I can not use 'svn ls'  for caching password.

But 'svn update' change state of my repo - not good command.

So I try another commands. This done job for me:

  $ svn log . | head -n 1

or may be safer:

  $ svn log -r BASE .

which don't change state of repo and require a few network resources.
