Putty and TortoiseSVN

Configure Mr. Turtle

This is the part we've all been waiting for. You need to tell TortoiseSVN to use TortoisePlink to handle its SSH traffic. To do this see the following steps:

right-click on an explorer window somewhere
hover over TortoiseSVN in the context menu
select Settings from the sub-menu
select Network from the list on the left
under the SSH box in the right side, click the Browse... button
browse to and select TortoisePlink.exe (mine is in c:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoisePlink.exe)
click Open
click Apply

Check sumfin' out

In the explorer, under your source tree (mine is C:\Documents and Settings\$USER\Desktop\src\svn\mono), right-click on some empty space
Select SVN Checkout...
under URL of repository:, enter the following
- svn+ssh://$USER@mono-cvs.ximian.com/source/trunk/mono
under Checkout directory:, enter something similar to the following
- C:\Documents and Settings\$USER\Desktop\src\svn\mono\mono
click the OK button
When prompted whether you want to create the non-existent directory, say yes
