How can I configure TortoiseSVN to work with an online BitBucket repo?

I am having a bit of an annoying issue here.

We have a private BitBucket central repo and each of us have cloned it on our desktop but we are using SourceTree which is not my favourite.

So my question is how can I configure TortoiseSvn t work with it?

I tried the following:

  1. Created a folder on my desktop
  2. Right clicked on it -> SVN Checkout
  3. Pasted the https link to my BitBucket repo and pressed OK
  4. And get the following error

Checkout from https://[email protected]/xxxxx/xxxxx.git, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://[email protected]/xxxxx/xxxxx.git' Repository moved temporarily to 'https://bitbucket.org/account/signin/%3Fnext=/xxxxx/xxxxx.git'; please relocate Completed!

The reason I think this is happening is because it is not authenticated and I need to somehow force Tortoise to log in but I am not sure how.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Can't use TortoiseSVN. Must use TortoiseGIT. – Dialecticus

Bitbucket.org hosts Git and Mercurial repositories, so you need a proper client, like TortoiseGit for Git, or TortoiseHg for Mercurial.
