TortoiseSVN Checkout from localhost:port Results in “‘svn://localhost:port/path’ isn’t in the same repository as ‘svn:localhost/path’”

Connecting to a SVN repository via PuTTY, I configured an SSH tunnel from local port 3690 to remote-server:3690.

I tried to check out a remote directory, but received the message (in Repository Browser and during Check out)

‘svn://localhost:3690/some/path’ isn’t in the same repository as ‘svn://localhost/some/path’

I quickly found this bug report relating to TortoiseSVN client version 1.6 (I had Tortoise SVN 1.6.8).

After upgrading to version 1.7, check out succeeded.
