Done. The problem is reproduced again as shown in the command 
line output below. I did not have a /etc/subversion directory so 
I did not change your script at all. I also got exactly the same 
results on another computer (which also did not have the 
/etc/subversion directory).

I'm willing to reinstall cygwin and packages. I am running it all 
"out of the box" so to speak so it's not a big deal for me. What 
do you think?


Thanks again for all your efforts.
