title: How to use svn+ssh with Tortoise SVN from the command line
body: <p>I'm having trouble trying to checkout a repo using the following syntax on a Windows 7 workstation with TortoiseSvn:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn co svn+ssh://user@ip/repo .
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I've done to test this issue:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Modified the network settings of TortoiseSvn to point to ..\TortoisePlink.exe</li>
  <li>Successfully established an ssh connection to the target machine with no issues</li>
  <li>Successfully checked out repos from workstations running Ubuntu with OpenSsh</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>When I try to do the above syntax from the command line on the Windows 7 workstation I get the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn: E720087: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn+ssh:///user@ip/repo'
  svn: E720087: Can't create tunnel:The parameter is incorrect.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Interestingly, if I use the tortoise gui to browse to the repo I can successfully open and check out the repo.  But I need to do it from the command line for scripting purposes.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
