I included the fact that I'm using Cygwin just for completeness. The SVN client I'm using is not part of Cygwin, it's from CollabNet. The SVN version that claims to represent is 1.5.7, which is the SVN version that my Subversive connector claims to represent. That tells me that I shouldn't be having a problem. I guess I'll have to try again and see what happens. Perhaps it's not a problem with SVN version mismatches. I'll have to test this very carefully so I don't screw up my main workspace. I guess I'll have to create another one just for this test.
