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?
