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.
