Stefan,

Thank you for your reply.  

So, I thought that after authentication, TortoisePlink would run svnserve 
-t, with data for the connection moving over stdin/stdout.  I assumed that 
TortoiseSVN redirected stdin/stdout from TortoisePlink to itself, and at 
that point TortoiseSVN is connected to svnserve.  Is that not how it 
works?  

Is there some other way I can can capture output or errors from 
TortoisePlink?  Where does TortoisePlink send stdout and stderr?

To be clear, I am only interested in this in order to troubleshoot a 
separate problem.  My proposed changes to my  /usr/local/bin/svnserve bash 
script don't work with TortoiseSVN and TortoisePlink, so I am trying so see 
what goes wrong with the connection.  Do I need to substitute ordinary 
Plink in the TortoiseSVN network configuration, because it can report 
errors?

Ken
