svn+ssh on Windows

[Daniel Burrows <db...@email.arc.nasa.gov>]

  I've been having some difficulty getting svn+ssh access to work
on Windows.  The server is 0.25, built from source on Solaris, and
the client is the 0.25 Windows build from the website, running on
Windows 2000.  I get the same symptoms using OpenSSH from the Cygwin
distribution or F-Secure ssh.

  The repository works fine when accessed from the server, either
directly or via svn+ssh://localhost.  I can ssh to the server and
use programs that tunnel through ssh (like scp and cvs)  However, if I
use Subversion, this happens:

$ svn checkout svn+ssh://host/repository
svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly

  It's occured to me that this COULD be because the server spews out
a banner message when you connect with ssh, but that seems unlikely to
me, especially because of the following:

  If I get the source distribution for 0.25 and build it myself under
Cygwin, the checkout proceeds exactly as it should.  However, I'd prefer
to stick with the binary distributions since it's less work to upgrade
them and easier for other people to install them.

  Any ideas what could be going on?

I had the same question last week.  The only difference is that my client
would wait infinitely with no response whatsoever and it was only after I
pressed Ctrl-C that I got the message you described.  I did not get an
answer though.  I'm running the server on RH9 and client on Windows 2000.

I did not try the source distribution for 0.25.0.

    $ svn checkout svn+ssh://host/repository

I had this same problem once.  See
