That won't work: the env variables set that way are only valid in your
command prompt window. If you really want to use the env variable, set
it properly in your system dialog.

try
ssh = "E:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoisePlink" -i
E:/puttygen-keys/private.ppk

That's the handler for svn:// urls (if you click on such urls, the repo
browser is opened).

Also check the subversion docs:
