By the way: one possible reason for trouble using the SVN_SSH
environment variable in Windows could be spaces inside paths:
c:\program files\putty
If I copy plink.exe from this path to c:\, and set SVN_SSH=c:\
then 'svn co ...' no longer gives the error message 'file not found'
(meaning, it seems, the file plink.exe), but 'access denied'.
[Actually I get them in Swedish, so the exact wording may be off].
Weird. Especially since:
1. it seems that SVN_SSH must point to the executable file
2. I *can* access the repository with TortoiseSVN using svn+ssh...
