If there is a really strong need to have a single checkout for multiple users (which seems a little unusual), another option is simply to grant additional permissions, to the checkout, for the second user. Presumably the second user could then use TortoiseSVN as normal, as they'd have the necessary file permissions. From a Command Prompt (potentially elevated), this can be achieved with the cacls <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/cacls> command. Something like the following: cacls checkout_root_folder /t /e /g SecondUserName:f
