Mainly because I already had cygwin installed on my new machine and I did not want to have to search for a free windows svn client. I did not know using the cygwin version could cause problems. When you mention line ending problems, I had just run into a line ending problem but it was not caused by that. I caused this one.. The svn server is on linux and I imported a few old projects from cvs to svn and it appears that changed line endings from windows to unix. I did not know till I tried to open a visual C 6 project and nothing happened.
