TortoiseSVN keeps on asking me for my password

Question

I have source code checked out on my Linux machine. I connect to it via Samba. On a Linux machine, the SVNROOT is set to @. In addito

Answer 1

By selecting "Settings" from the TortoiseSVN menu, and clicking the "Network" section, you can configure the "SSH client" command line. Adding " -i " followed by the path to your private key there will make the authentication work as it does on Linux.

The default SSH client is a program called "TortoisePlink", which uses a different key file format than the OpenSSH client that's used on Linux. You can convert the key supplied by your sysadmin to that format using the puttygen tool available here http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

Alternatively, you could use an OpenSSH client with TortoiseSVN. The ssh.exe that comes with cygwin works fine, for example.
