TortoiseSVN is a GUI client, so it is not intended to be used
unattended, any more than you call MS Word from a batch file to
generate documents based on command line parameters. You need to use
the command line client for scripting. You can do that client side or
server side, but for automated nightly tasks, personally I would want
to set that up on the server and then forget about it. YMMV.
