Re: svn+ssh

You could use TortoisePlink.exe instead of Plink.exe.

It has GUI windows dialogs for all the SSH prompts, such as for a
password or passphrase, or to tell you you are connecting to a server
which you apparently haven't connected to before. This means you
can never get stuck in an invisible piped tunnel which is prompting for
something.

TortoisePlink.exe is maintained along with TortoiseCVS (thanks
Torsten!); you can get the binaries or source for it from the
TortoiseCVS project. These should work with Win32 command line
Subversion.

For binaries, install TortoiseCVS from www.tortoisecvs.org. You will
find TortoisePlink.exe in the TortoiseCVS folder in Program Files.

The source code is here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tortoisecvs/TortoiseCVS/src/TortoisePlink/

And you'll probably want to use Pageant (an SSH passphrase holding
agent) along with TortoisePlink so you don't have to keep entering
passwords. Rough instructions are here:
http://www.tortoisecvs.org/faq.html#sshkeys

Thinking about it, does TortoiseSVN ship with TortoisePlink?
