As a new user to these two software packages, I experienced the exact same problem. As was also discovered above, my solution was to use the same case letters as is in the Repository path.

Here's a tip that I find helpful: In VisualSVN, you can right click on the path, then click "Copy URL to Clipboard" for pasting in Tortoise to be sure that the path is the identical case.

I had a similar issue in Mac where svn was picking mac login as user name and I was getting error as

svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://repo:8443/svn/proj/trunk'
svn: E175013: Access to '/svn/proj/trunk' forbidden

I used the --username along with svn command to pass the correct username which helped me. Alternatively, you can delete ~/.subversion/auth file, after which svn will prompt you for username.

Actually, I had this problem same as you. You can get the "Forbidden" error if your commit includes different directories ; Like external items.

And ı solved in one step. Just commit external items in another case.

Additionally, I advise you to read articles on External Items in Subversion and VisualSVN Server:

VisualSVN Team's article about Daily Use Guide External Items. It explains the principles of External Items in SVN.
