It doesn't save the configuration unless you tell it.  However, if you
invoke PuTTY interactively (i.e., not the command-line plink.exe, but
putty.exe itself), it pops up a session configuration dialog.  There,
you can configure a session for subversions.gnu.org and save it.  That
configuration will henceforth be used by plink.

Maybe, I don't know.  You will have to see how ediff-revision invokes
plink, perhaps it does it in a way that plink thinks it's an
interactive invocation.
