The problem is in the svn port for Cygwin, as you mentioned. When
building svn for Cygwin 1.7, I removed support for DOS paths. This
unintentionally removed support for UNC paths as well.

I'll see what I can do to restore UNC path support without also enabling
DOS path support.

Thanks for the report.
