Okay, so I downloaded Subversion and tried to do a checkout with that
(instead of with TortoiseSVN). Below is what I get on windows:
C:\foo>svn co svn+ssh://192.168.10.150/svn_root/svn/personal/
svn: Can't create tunnel: The system cannot find the file specified.
However, I'm more than capable of connecting to my machine with PuTTY and
PLink. I used this guide to verify that a few things work, and all tests
passed:

Any idea what else I can try?
