I'm using Putty 0.60 for over a year, and I'm still using some keys
generated several years ago which work flawlessly to access
Sourceforge's shell. So it is not a key issue.

So please let me describe the problem with TortoisePlink from scratch
in another way:
The TortoisePlink of TSVN 1.5.0 doesn't show a separate window/popup
when asking for the user's or key's password.
In releases 1.4.6 to 1.4.8 it did show a separate popup.

As you changed the Putty base in TSVN 1.50 from Putty 0.5 to 0.6 it
may be that not all of your Plink modifications have been transferred
to the 0.6 code, or that your 0.5 changes are not enough for, or
fitting, to the 0.6 base.

Stefan, does your TortoisePlink of TSVN 1.5.0 prompt you for the
user's or key's password in a separate window/popup? (don't use
PAGEANT for this)
Here's the MD5 checksum of the version that is in the official release
(336896 bytes, date 09:00.30 2008-06-21):

Kind regards
