I had the same problem my self, but figured it out by looking at:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/version.txt

The registry-entry works with both web-addresses and local directories.
You need to add an entry named HKCU/Software/TortoiseSVN.
Here you should add a string-value named UpdateCheckURL and the
value should be the place to look for version.txt (eg. C:\TSVNversion).
In this directory you should create a file named version.txt containing
only the line 1.3.1.5521 or whatever version you you want to people to
use.

Unfortunately TSVN will still tell you to look for the new verison at
tortoisesvn.tigris.org.
Hans-Emil Skogh made a patch that makes et possible to add extra text
to the version.txt file, but I'm sad to say that it has not been
released
with TSVN 1.3.1. (since it contains only bugfixes i guess it makes
sence).
Look for a thread called "TortoiseSVN release management" on the
dev-list
to read more about the patch.

I hope I got this function right - if not please correct me :o)
