When using cygwin's cvs2svn with subversion (1.6.2 r37639) while running
Avira AntiVir (http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php), svnadmin is

sporadically due to permission failure moving files.
The subversion code base has some hacks to retry various file operations
to work around this issue. These hacks are enabled for a Windows build
but not for Cygwin. I've attempted to port these hacks to Cygwin, but I
may have missed an error code or three, thus not retrying some errors
that should be retried.
I just uploaded a new version of Subversion for 1.5 with a fix for the
retry patch. I had missed a case when moving files.
Are you using Cygwin 1.5 or 1.7? I have disabled this hack in the 1.7
build because I was hoping 1.7's more robust file renaming and deleting
code would come to the rescue.
It turns out that these problems still occur with 1.7, although less
frequently, so I've also released new Subversion packages for 1.7 with
the updated retry patch added.
