* Settings dialog->Network-​>Subversion servers file->Edit
    read the comments in the file, then set up your certificate file
    ssl-client-cert-file = path/to/your/cert/file
    and check if you can access the repository now
* also try the command line client (svn.exe)
* you might get better help on the svn users mailing list since this is
    a server setup issue, not really a client problem
