I'm using TortoiseSVN as my subversion client on Windows 7. My subversion repository has an https URL.
I'm on a public network and I'd like to make sure that my connection to the server is secure. I wonder if TortoiseSVN encrypts my password when it talks to my repository.

If your SVN repository has a HTTPS URL, then all SVN traffic (including your username and password) will flow over that HTTPS (HTTP over SSL/TLS) connection. As far as network traffic is concerned, this is similar to any other HTTPS connection, although SVN uses some additional HTTP WebDav/DeltaV commands.
Your SVN traffic should be highly secure, as long as the administrators maintain a secure SVN webserver and as long as your keep your TortoiseSVN client up to date.
