Hi,

I have changed my subversion repository to be path restricted (by editing and activating the `conf/authz` file, and configuring a groups file). This seems to work alright, since I can access the repo remotely from Linux shells.

However, TortoiseSVN is not able to read anymore, and I'd like to debug this; but I don't even know which user it uses ...

I use the commandline interface to get logs (for committing, I use the `svn` commandline client almost exclusively):

TortoiseProc.exe /command:repobrowser /path:svn+ssh://svn.my-server/my-repo/sub/path /notempfile
TortoiseProc.exe /command:log /path:svn+ssh://svn.my-server/my-repo/sub/path /notempfile

When I grant reading access to every authenticated user, those commands work alright, so the tortoise seems to authenticate somehow. I'd like to know the exact wording of the user it uses, for to be able to grant access to this very user.

Since I use the `svn+ssh` protocol so far exclusively, I use PuTTY and TortoisePlink, and pageant for serving ssh keys.

What can I do to debug this and get the interesting information?

How can I force TortoiseSVN to use some specific user?

Thank you!
