Re: SV: How can I set up access via svn+ssh on Windows?

Plink can connect using standard ssh client syntax, or it can use the
PuTTy GUI session names. For example, If I use PuTTy to connect to my
server and save a session as "myserver", I can set SVN_SSH to
"C:\path\to\TortoisePlink.exe" then use
"svn+ssh://me@myserver:/var/subversion/project1".

It might help to try calling TortoisePlink.exe from the command line and
give it a command. This would be something like
"C:\path\to\TortoisePlink.exe me@myserver svnlook info
/var/subversion/project1". If that works, then svn+ssh should work.
