Hi,
The fix in rev
[656441](http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=656441) breaks
continuum on cygwin.
Relevant part of the log :
```
2008-05-21 00:28:26,265 [pool-1-thread-1] INFO
org.apache.continuum.scm.manager
.Slf4jScmLogger - Executing: cmd.exe /X /C "svn --non-interactive update
C:\ci\wd\41"

org.apache.continuum.scm.manager
.Slf4jScmLogger - Svn command failed due to some locks in working copy. We
try to run a 'svn cleanup'.
```
The workaround is too add windows svn first in the cygwin path.

> When calling Subversion with relative paths there is a limit of 255
> characters to the path length. If you call Subversion with an absolute path
> that no longer applies and you now have access to 32K chars. I have tried
> this myself and it does work. Try feeding SVN a path that is relative and is
> over 255 chars. It will not be able to complete the transaction. Now, try
> to the same path again only as an absolute path and it will successfully
> complete the transaction. Here is a link to the forum where I found this
> information: http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.4/firstrun/.
