I've struggled with SVN behind a proxy server for a while now. I tried setting the http_proxy environment variable but unfortunately SVN does not seem to honour this - at least on Windows.
The answer is quite plainly on the Tigris FAQ and the solution is to edit %APPDATA%\Subversion\servers and modify the following lines (around line 144):
# http-proxy-host = defaultproxy.whatever.com # http-proxy-port = 7000 # http-proxy-username = defaultusername # http-proxy-password = defaultpassword
Simply remove the hash at the start of the line and change the settings to appropriate values and presto - SVN is through the proxy and downloading from external sites.
