Installing SlikSvn 1.6.13 worked around the problem as well.

I regularly install SlikSvn on Cygwin/Windows, and *uninstall* Cygwin's
Subversion-related packages. That way, I can commit from a Cygwin shell.
Hi Steve,
I did uninstall Cygwin's subversion otherwise the SlikSvn install would not
take since /usr/bin is put first on the Cygwin PATH by default.
The problem with SlikSvn's svn commit in a Cygwin shell window is that when
it asks for a password, it's for a user called 'cyg-server' instead of me
(vajda).
When I then force the user to 'vajda' with --username, it still fails
because the password input doesn't appear to be working. The process just
waits for ever, even after I hit enter.
The password is also displayed live twice in the shell: once when entered
(copy/paste) and once when aborted, as naked input in the shell.
Doing the same in a proper DOS shell window works fine. My username is used
by default, the password is not echoed, is accepted upon hitting enter and
the commit completes as expected.
(I started doing this when I found that performing Maven releases using
maven-release-plugin with Cygwin svn just doesn't work.)
Andi..
