The proxy settings are read by the Subversion client library,
and are thus shared between TortoiseSVN and other Subversion clients.
So nothing is "overridden". It's shared.

Just FYI, on Windows, this configuration can be stored in the registry,
or in the "Application Data" area inside a folder called Subversion
(something like C:\Documents and Settings\User\Subversion).
See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.confarea.html

If you need separate configurations for clients you could either
make the svn command client use a different configuration (see the
--config-dir option), or you could try to make tortoise store its
configuration elsewhere (but I don't know if that's possible).
