Description

Hello

I met a problem which could be easily prevented.
On windows, you can have a registry entry "Autorun" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor. In my case, I had the following as a value :
"cd /d c:\bin". It adds the following behaviour : each time you execute cmd.exe, it calls the cd /d c:\bin.

As continuum uses on windows cmd.exe /X "svn blabla", in my case the checkout wasn't made in the correct directory, preventing me to have my build.
If the full paths was given to svn.exe, even in such a weird environment like mine, I wouldn't have met the problem.
