How do I configure the username of a commit?

My username (of myWindows account) is always shown as 'author' in the SVN repository log.

How can I configure SVN to use another name? Is there a way for Tortoise SVN, too?

And when I specify a username in the checkout command (--username), is that one used for commiting changed, too?

The standard SVN clients use a configuration file .subversion\servers where you can change many things regarding ahem... SVN-server related settings. In this file there is a username setting which can be set to different values for different repositories.

Where exactly this servers file is and how you can set stuff there is explained in the book here:
