I got a bit further on this issue.
I downloaded plink.exe (part of PuTTY) and renamed it to ssh.exe and placed
that in the folder with svn.exe in it. I then ran this command:
svn ls svn+ssh://server/svn_root/svn/personal
Now it's stuck and not returning. This is the same behavior that TSVN's repo
browser had. Can anyone help out? Thanks.
