Cygwin Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Fri Apr 30 12:19:26 2010 Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Path: C:\Program Files\CollabNet Subversion Client ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and here. You're using a native Win32 version of subversion instead of the Cygwin version, which, btw., you have installed and is much newer: subversion 1.6.11-1 Also keep in mind that /usr/bin/vi as well as /usr/bin/vim are Cygwin *symlinks*, pointing to /usr/bin/vim-nox.exe. I doubt that the native subversion in C:\Program Files\CollabNet Subversion Client actually understands Cygwin symlinks.
