I'm afraid I'm missing something obvious but does this really have
anything to do with replacing backslashes with slashes? I'd naively expect
the above to help with DOS/Unix EOL conversion and while the official
documentation (http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-api/func-cygwin-internal.html)
doesn't say anything else than "Stay away unless you know what you're
doing." (good advice but not very useful), it looks like a lot of programs
use it for this.
But, once again, the problem with svn completion under Cygwin is *not* due
to CR LF trouble but to the fact that the native Win32 svn.exe outputs the
file paths with backslashes and not slashes as the completion code expects.
Let me repost my trivial patch which fixes the completion for me:

As you can see it simply forces the paths to use slashes and I've never
heard about Cygwin doing this automatically. This doesn't mean it can't,
it's full of black magic, but I couldn't find any mention of it.
