to TortoiseSVN [usr]
Hi,

I have svn 1.5RC9 running through SSH on ubuntu server of mine, however I cannot connect to it via TortoiseSVN. I also cannot connect to it via plink on windows using the svn command line. I can connect just fine from another linux machine, I just cannot connect to it via a windows machine.

My test case was to connect to my repository with this link through the repo browser:

svn+ssh://server/svn_root/svn/personal/projects/vfx/vfx

However, the repo browser just hangs infinitely and does not go away, even after 3 hours of waiting. I ALT+TAB around and try to find any hidden login windows, but I see nothing else open. I'm currently using Windows XP and TortoiseSVN 1.5 (the latest as of a couple of days ago).

I posted this issue on the subversion user mailing list, however they have not been able to help me very much with the issue. Why would I be able to connect from linux but not from windows? Why is TortoiseSVN hanging? Help is greatly appreciated. This was supposed to be simple but I ended up wasting the whole weekend trying to get it to work. Thanks for any help.

A wild guess - the ssh client prompt you with a message (e.g. "the
server's fingerprint is ... will you accept this key?" etc.) but you
can't see this because TSVN does not show it to you (no stdout/err).
So it waits for your response.
The only problem with this explanation is that you should be able to
login using putty just fine.
