While setting up Tortoise recently, I couldn’t easily find how to tell it I wanted to use keys for SSH authentication. This post helpfully described how Tortoise actually uses PuTTY for its SSH connections, and how to get key-based auth working. In essence, you connect to your SVN server with PuTTY, then you use the saved session name when doing the checkout via Tortoise. This way you can define what key and user you want to use, and Tortoise won’t bother you for them again.
