Bug with TortoisePlink

[ProfCrazynutz]

Hello Tortoise Team,

  In tortoise SVN >= 1.5.x I have been experiencing problems
interfacing with my svn server through an SSH tunnel. For instance,
when checking out a project I will specify a URL like: "svn+ssh://
username@.../path/to/repo/trunk".

  When proceeding with a checkout, I receive a dialog from
TortoisePlink asking "login as" even though I specified my login
information in the URL. That's a little weird, right? After keying in
the correct information, I receive an error message stating
"Connection closed unexpectedly".

   After doing some sleuthing I believe I figured out the issue: When
a user has set a default host name value in Putty, the TortoisePlink
behaves incorrectly. When I clear the registry value:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > SimonTatham > Putty > Sessions >
Default%20Settings > HostName" everything starts working. This does
seem to occur in TortoiseSVN releases prior to 1.5.x

   I have confirmed this issue on another computer. This can be
replicated by the following steps:

   1. Open putty
   2. Click once on default settings to highlight it.
   3. Type in a value for the "Host Name (or IP address)" field.
(preferrably different than your SVN server)
   4. Click the save button
   5. Then click cancel.
   6. Now try to checkout a project with the svn+ssh protocol.
   7. You then should clear the mentioned registry value above to get
TortoisePlink to work again.

Sorry, I forgot a "not". Last sentence of the third paragraph should
read: "This does NOT seem to occur in TortoiseSVN releases prior to
1.5.x "

YES! Clearing the host name from Putty solved this problem for me.
Thanks, Nick!

Hi RealHandy,

Great to hear that helped someone else. I am bit confused why no-one
from tortoise has written back about this issue. I ran across a number
of people having the same problem while Googling for a solution.

Best,
Nick

TortoisePlink is the default Plink client from the PuTTY project, with
small changes to avoid having the DOS console pop up.
We don't provide support for this because we haven't written/programmed
that tool.

Hi Stefan,

  What's odd is that having a default host name in putty worked with
Tortoise versions < 1.5.x. Anyways, it appears that a mystery has been
solved for myself and others. It may be something worth noting this in
the TortoiseSVN documentation. Seems like an issue that can easily
arise.

Best,
Nick
