Hokay. Some progress, but still no win:
c:\path\to\tortoisesvn\TortoisePlink.exe me@myserver.com svnlook info
/var/subversion/proj1
does not work, TortoisePlink asks nicely for password but then
pops up a message box: "unable to write to standard output".
HOWEVER, the same operation with PuTTY's plink.exe:
c:\path\to\PuTTY\plink.exe me@myserver.com svnlook info
/var/subversion/proj1
works nicely.
It is of course possible to run the simpler example
c:\path\to\PuTTY\plink.exe myserver.com ls
So it is established that TortoisePlink.exe can't be used for this.
But the plink.exe that comes with PuTTY shows promise.
But setting the SVN_SSH environment variable to c:\path\to\PuTTY\plink.exe
does not help. Nor to C:\path\to\PuTTY
I suspect that this environment variable does not really work on Windows...
Has anyone had success doing this on Windows?

You can? Not I.

Yes, that works. But svn co svn+ssh.... does not.
