Introduction
------------

  This article describes how to use a subversion client from Cygwin
  together with TortoiseSVN.

Method
------

  The paths in Cygwin have the form /cygdrive/c/path/to/file whereas
  TortoiseSVN uses native Windows paths of the form
  C:/path/to/file. In order to be able to use both programs with the
  same working directories one needs to create a symlink in Cygwin for
  the desired drives.

    $ ln -s /cygdrive/c /C:
    $ ln -s /cygdrive/z /Z:
