Re: Checkout still appears to be broken

Thanks for the quick reply, sorry that wasn't clear - I should know
better :-( Apologies again I got the close quote in the wrong place
the thread to google for is titled "Tortoisesvn 1.5.1 Checkout broken"
- try http://svn.haxx.se/tsvnusers/archive-2008-07/0809.shtml for a
view of the thread, this might have made it a little clearer!

As per the web instructions I linked to I set up a new tunnel config
for svn by adding the following line under the [tunnels] section in
the config file ( for me C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan Booth
\Application Data\Subversion\config ):

### Section for configuring tunnel agents.
[tunnels]
ssh_user = "C:/Program Files/TortoiseSVN/bin/TortoisePlink.exe" -
noagent -i "C:/Documents and Settings/Jonathan Booth/My Documents/Keys/
hm-ssh-svn.ppk"

In folder E:\Temp\ there already existed a Core-Lib folder which I
want to checkout on top of and then add the contents to my brand new
repository (as I read this was a good way import existing stuff
somewhere). So using the (working) repository browser pointed at (svn
+ssh_user://sharpste@sharpstep.com/) I created a trunk folder and
inside this a Core-Lib folder.

Then I browse to the E:\Temp folder and right click on nothing in
there and use the Tortoise svn attempt to checkout svn+ssh_user://
sharpste_at_sharpstep.com/trunk/Core-Lib into folder E:\Temp\Core-Lib
(fully recursive).

I get the following messages:

------------------
Command: Checkout from C:/DOCUME~1/JONATH~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/svn
+ssh_user:/sharpste_at_sharpstep.com/trunk/Core-Lib, revision HEAD, Fully
recursive, Externals included
Error: Can't check path
Error: 'C:\DOCUME~1\JONATH~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\svn+ssh_user:
\sharpste_at_sharpstep.com\trunk\Core-Lib':
Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is
incorrect.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
------------------

and the operation failed.

FYI: if however I make the config file read:
### Section for configuring tunnel agents.
[tunnels]
ssh = "C:/Program Files/TortoiseSVN/bin/TortoisePlink.exe" -C -noagent
-i "C:/Documents and Settings/Jonathan Booth/My Documents/Keys/hm-ssh-
svn.ppk"

And then do exactly the same, however checkout svn+ssh://
sharpste_at_sharpstep.com/trunk/Core-Lib into folder E:\Temp\Core-Lib
(fully recursive) it works.
Even stranger though like this the repository browser pointed at (svn
+ssh://sharpste@sharpstep.com/) doesn't work as TortoisePLink keeps
asking me for the password although it's supposed to have been given a
key to use. Perhaps this is a related issue - perhaps not!

If you like I can download the sources, build a debug version and have
a go at tracking these issues down, but that might take some time for
me to actually be able to do something useful and any fix I made could
well break something else! I would have had a bash at it last night
but the tigris domain was down.
