This can be done without the use of pageant. Let me know if you want to try
my method.
The biggest draw back is you cannot make SSH run a custom script to ensure
the umask gets set to 002 and the SSH process is run under the svn owner
account. It takes some careful setting of users/dir permissions but you can
get multi-user rw successfully.

Download Putty and install that one. It contains a key generator and upload
the public key as described. Have Pageant start each time you log in, and
in the cvs setup, tell plink be executed
Now make a login profile in putty which you name after your username and
server, like dude@nowhere.com if username is dude and server is nowhere.com
Start once plink with "plink dude@nowhere.com" if that was your profile
name and then, eacjh time you login, activate pageant and read in the
private key which you have stored somewhere. Then you may try plink again
and check you get in directly on the server. Exit and use svn freely. But
remember to reactivate key in Pageant each time you log in. If you in gthe
startup starts a batch file that run through all directories that are under
svn and do an update, also have before that, a reminder to enter the
password for svn login.
Like
Echo Please remember to log in at PageAnt
cd project1
svn update
cd project2
