So, do you say that Cygwin's svn has a problem if you call it directly on
command line with an absolute path like

svn info /cygpath/c/path/to/managed/source

I can hardly believe this (cannot test it anymore, Windows free zone). The
error above indicates for me that you actually called something like

svn info /cygpath

The absolute paths are on purpose, see
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-368.
