git-svn on Cygwin works well with svn+ssh://, but needs some fixes around tempfile and/or subprocess handling for https:// - please help.

This problem is triggered by updating Cygwin's SVN to 1.6. Downgrading it back to 1.5 make git-svn work for me again.

1. The problem is also triggered when svn is accessed using file: protocol.
2. Downgrading does not help completely for file protocol. Instead of the tempfile.tmp, there is now the same problem with report.tmp.

I tend to agree with Matthias Andree that real bug is using fixed file names for temporary files. This could also cause interference when several git-svn instances the same computer for different git repositories.
