OK, I did several things.  First, I downgraded subversion to 1.6.12
and everything worked.  Then I re-ran the installer and re-installed
the base cygwin package, which should have upgraded the DLL.  It did
not, It was still at 1.7.5.  I'm using setup 2.721,
http://mirrors.kernel.org for the site, the installer says the package
installed is 1.7.7-1.  I then manually deleted the cygwin1.dll and ran
setup.exe again.  THIS time it upgraded the DLL.  The DLL's don't have
any weird permission, so I don't know why it didn't upgrade.  I did
have sshd running, and setup threw a warning that I'd need to reboot.
Maybe something related to that?

Anyway, at this point, I now appear to be able to use subversion
without filename mangling.  I'm just curious why multiple installs of
the cygwin base didn't update the cygwin1.dll.

Very weird!
