Answer 1

I use the IDE Phpstorm,but I think it maybe the same as AS.

1.You should reinstall the svn. And choose option modify.

And next step,you can see the command line client tools.

Let's choose first one: Will be installed on local hard drive.

2.Now restart you computer.

Go to the svn location，all the time it will be C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin.

If you see the svn.exe in C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin,it proved that we reinstall command line client successfully. Copy C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\svn.exe into the IDE.

3.Restart you IDE.It is ok!

Answer 2

Android Studio cannot find the svn command because it's not on PATH, and it doesn't know where svn is installed.

One way to fix is to edit the PATH environment variable: add the directory that contains svn.exe. You will need to restart Android Studio to make it re-read the PATH variable.

Another way is to set the absolute path of svn.exe in the Use command client box in the settings screen that you included in your post.

UPDATE

According to this other post, TortoiseSVN doesn't include the command line tools by default. But you can re-run the installer and enable it. That will add svn.exe to PATH, and Android Studio will correctly pick it up.
