That error is commonly encountered if svn is unable to locate your tunnel
agent(ssh.exe). Go into your Subversion config file(in
%APPDATA%\Subversion\config) and take a look at the [tunnels] section. Mine
looks like this:

### Section for configuring tunnel agents.
[tunnels]
### Configure svn protocol tunnel schemes here.  By default, only
### the 'ssh' scheme is defined.  You can define other schemes to
### be used with 'svn+scheme://hostname/path' URLs.  A scheme
### definition is simply a command, optionally prefixed by an
### environment variable name which can override the command if it
### is defined.  The command (or environment variable) may contain
### arguments, using standard shell quoting for arguments with
### spaces.  The command will be invoked as:
###   <command> <hostname> svnserve -t
### If the built-in ssh scheme were not predefined, it could be
### defined as:
ssh = $SVN_SSH tortoiseplink -l Arild
