For TortoiseSVN, see
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html#tsvn-dug-settings-registry

In the section Configuration, it says: "You can specify a different
location for the Subversion configuration file using registry location
HKCU\Software\TortoiseSVN\ConfigDir. This will affect all TortoiseSVN
operations."

Alternatively, you can specify it as an option when starting
tortoisesvn.exe (/configdir:"path\to\config\dir"). See
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/apc.html
