This is just the kind of problem that the Cygwin Time Machine [1] solves really nicely. Using said Time Machine you can install svn-1.6.17-1 from Cygwin's dim and distant past, which (I'm guessing) is just what you need. Given that we have the Time Machine, I'm not convinced of the merits of adding parallel svn installations to Cygwin - especially as no Linux distro offers this. Dave.
