For those of you that have run into the multiple password prompts while using the TortoiseSVN Subversion client, you’ll be glad to know there is a quick workaround. Assuming you have your repo browser url setup with svn+ssh, and your username already in the url (svn+ssh://username@hostname/some/path), you can then go to the TortoiseSVN settings and under ‘Network’ add the TortoisePlink.exe as the SSH Client (C:Program FilesTortoiseSVNbinTortoisePlink.exe). After the TortoisePlink.exe add ‘-pw password‘, so your final SSH Client line looks something like this:
C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoisePlink.exe -pw password

You can also use a more advanced crypro key version with SSH secure shell (http://allyourtech.com/content/articles/23_12_2005_setting_up_subversion_and_tortoisesvn.php).

[...] As new code runs smoothly, I commit the files to the sentral repository using TortoiseSVN right from the Windows explorer. To aviod typing the server password every time I interact with the repository, I’ve found a cute tip from Hile’s blog. [...]

Excellent!
Probably less secure than the crypto key approach(?) but way easier to implement.
Thanks!

THANK YOU!!!!!! Tortoise was driving me insane asking me for my password 10 times when I wanted to view the log!
