Two items of interest for Cygwin, especially in the light of recent work with the SQLite3 locking mechanism: 1. http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#exclusivelocking Subversion can be configured to use exclusive SQLite locks by making a simple addition to the .subversion/config file. 2. http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8.html#bdb-deprecated The Berkeley back-end has been deprecated, in favour of FSFS. You may recall that I reported some difficulty in getting Cygwin svn to work reliably with the Berkeley DB back-end: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-02/msg00130.html So this might be one problem that doesn't need fixing!
