What to do about TortoiseSVN 1.5.x svn+ssh “Connection closed unexpectedly” errors on Vista
Annoying. If, like me, you’re suddenly seeing this (despite assurances that it’s been fixed), I have two recommendations:
- Revert to an older TortoiseSVN 1.4.x build if you can find it.
- Try SmartSVN
SmartSVN is a Java-based free and “pro” drop-in replacement for Tortoise. Unlike other SVN clients, you can use it exactly as you were using TortoiseSVN. Possibly not as feature-rich, but considerably more polished than our favorite old Testudine. Runs everywhere. And it works over svn+ssh.

Yes, I was seeing this problem with 1.5.5., but reversion to 1.4.8 solved the problem for me as well.
