如何将AnkhSVN与SSH隧道一起使用？

Question

For university, I need to tunnel my SVN traffic through SSH because the server is normally not reachable from the outside. I have to work with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and installed AnkhSVN as my VCS.

I now have the problem that I cannot create a tunnel to the subversion repo. I have done it before with Eclipse with the following settings: I opened putty, connected to myproxy.myuniversity:22. I also created a tunnel with putty under connection -> SSH -> tunnels which forwards the traffic from my local port 5050 to the remote port 22. In Eclipse, I edited the settings for the SOCKS proxy and set it to 127.0.0.1:5050. The fields for http/https proxy were left blank. That worked fine.

But unfortunately, Visual Studio provides no way to edit the proxy settings. In AnkhSVN I can only edit the http/https proxy settings but I cannot change the SOCKS settings which is needed. To change Windows SOCKS proxy does not help either.

Is there any way to tunnel my SVN traffic through SSH or is there any other Visual Studio plugin which supports this kind of proxy? I highly want to avoid to use TortoiseSVN since it has screwed up my laptop ago.

You may not have an ssh client available. You can specify the full path to the client in the c:\\Documents and Settings\\YOURUSERNAME\\Application Data\\Subversion\\config. Make sure you uncomment the # tunnels section and add a line like this:

ssh = c:\\Program\\ Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\?TortoisePlink.exe

(note the double \\ characters and the single \\ to escape the space )

Update: You'll probably need to use an external application like putty or plink. this link can help you doing it: http://bitworking.org/news/Getting_subversion_svn_ssh____to_work_with_PuTTY keep in mind AnkhSVN is using the same configuration as the svn.exe command line client.

Hope this is what you've looking for..
