David, Thanks for your response. I have one more important point to add. I feel most hard-core UNIX hackers will laugh when I explain. I use IntelliJ at work which is a Java IDE. It depends upon SVNKit for its Subversion functionality. SVNKit is a Pure Java implementation of the SVN protocol.

Hello, Cygwin currently offerers two Subversion packages. One from 1.7.x series and another from 1.8.x series. Subversion version series are important because local repositories created by each series (1.6.x, 1.7.x, 1.8.x) are incompatible. In short, if you do "svn checkout" with svn 1.6.x, you
