Firstly, I still suggest to consider patching maven --- I'm sure you won't run
into any issues if you use the Cygwin-style paths.

Subversion doesn't contain Cygwin<->Windows path conversion code.  (Try grepping
for __CYGWIN__ in around path-test.c, dirent_uri-test.c, and libsvn_subr.)  If
something converts paths for you, it's either APR or Cygwin itself.

I'm not sure they are converted at all, in fact: commands such as 'ls C:/' and
'ls C:\\' work.  I suspect that conversion only happens for one of the path
dirname-basename split-then-join APIs.

I guess you'll have to explore Subversion's and APR's path libraries, now. 
Happy digging.
