Hi,  
I have a Jenkins server installed on the Linux machine and I have a windows agent.  
When i try to checkout a subversion project using the SVN plugin, I get the error below. Please note that I can checkout projects rarely using Jenkins, but mostly I get this error. Another strange thing is, if I configure more than one repository checkout in a single project, then it fails all the time. If I checkout projects using command line “svn co” on the windows agent, I can always checkout without issues.

Can someone please help me in resolving this issue?

Is there a spot to configure the path to the svn executable on the node? Perhaps the wrong svn is being used somehow?
