I think you are, since your patch has CRLF line ends. If you're using
Tortoise, it's probably auto-mangling the line-ends for you. It likes to be
"helpful" like that, but what you actually tend to end up with is a working
tree that isn't interoperable with cygwin.
Does running d2u over the rejected hunk fix your problem? Does generating
the patch by the commandline svn client under cygwin generate a patch in the
correct format for the patch utility under cygwin?
cheers,
