One think that should be carried over from svn.ht is how to setup
Putty on Windows. The issue is that subversion will look for a ssh
binary in its path, and if there is none, it fails. Saying

[tunnels]
ssh="c:/program files/putty/plink.exe" -T

in subversion's config file does the trick (see svn.html).

If you use a different SSH client, you need to adjust the configuration
accordingly. FYI, -T specifies to not allocate a terminal.

plink has the nice feature of giving GUI feedback if there is no
terminal for interactive feedback (such as whether the remote key
is trusted). This makes it useful for TortoiseSVN.
