Normally, one does not have TortoiseSVN on a production server in the
first place. Better to use tools which can be automated cleanly
(command-line, etc.) for hands-off deployments.

Note that because the setting is in HCU, it will need to be set for
*each user* who might be doing things on this server. This holds true
for setting it in %APPDATA%\Subversion\config as well.

Settings in the registry will override %APPDATA%\Subversion
configuration settings (that's my experience, anyway); specifying it
at the command line (see my other reply) should trump both.
