TSVN does not save passwords in the registry. And definitely not in
Software\TortoiseSVN\...

You can however save some data under
HKCU or HKLM\Software\tigris.org\Subversion\config
since that's the registry part of the svn config - the same as you can
do in the config file you can also do in that registry key.

But as I said: TSVN never, ever stores a password in the registry.
