Subversion Set Up With Windows on Ubuntu
1) Download Putty, Plink, and PuttyGen
2) Save them all somewhere on your path. (I suggest putting C:svnbin in your path, so that will work nicely)
3) Edit C:Documents and Settings{your username}Application DataSubversionconfig . Skip down to the portion of the file about tunnels. Right under the uncommented [tunnels] line, add this EXACTLY without the quotes: "ssh=plink"
4) Open PuttyGen. Hit generate new key, move mouse around like it instructs, get key generated. Copy it to the keyboard, hit Save Private Key, toss it somewhere convenient (I used C:Documents and Settings{your username}.ssh{slice name}.ppk
5) Open Putty. follow these directions exactly: your hostname is {your deployment logon}@{your hostname}. From the left hand pane, click SSH to expand it, go down to Auth, click Browse, navigate to the key file you saved in step #4, and open it. Now, back to the main screen of Putty, and save this session as a name, like "Dreaming".
6) Login to host using the session you just made. You should see it complain that the server rejected your key.
7) "mkdir ~.ssh" on host 
echo "[click your right mouse button to paste in that key you copied earlier]" > ~.sshauthorized_keys
9) Log out.
10) Log back in using the same session from Putty. If your key was accepted (it will say [Authenticating with public key "rsa-key-{datestamp}"]), you win.
11) Edit config/deploy.rb on your localhost. Locate the line which says repository. Change it to
set :repository, "svn+ssh://{your login name}@{the SESSION NAME which you saved from step #5}/usr/local/svn/#{application}"
12) Back on your local machine, "cap setup_scm"
If you don’t see either "Couldn’t create tunnel" or "Failed to create transaction" near the bottom of all the stuff that sailed by, congrats, you’re probably set up with a newly checked out copy and an up-to-date repository.
