When I run Cygwin subversion command (svn) with a Windows formatted

path expressed in Cygwin format works fine.
I am the maintainer of Subversion for Cygwin. I do not have the time or
interest to try to patch this in Subversion. In general, I don't feel
the Cygwin tools have a responsibility to support Windows formatted
paths.
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.
