tortoiseSVN and ssh

[sosman <so...@metrak.com>]

I am having trouble configuring tortoiseplink to talk to my openSSH 
server using a dsa key.

I routinely login with a command line ssh from my windows box a la:

ssh svn

I have tried setting the SSH client using:

C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\TortoisePlink.exe -2 -i 
C:\usr\cygwin\home\pms\.ssh\id_dsa -v

It gets as far as "Unable to use this key file (OpenSSH SSH2 private 
key).  This is the key used by my command line ssh client with no drama.

Running sshd in debug mode on the server doesn't give away much (not to 
me anyway).

Any clues?

PLINK is probably based on PuTTY, which uses another key format.
