What is a good svn client for gnome? I just started using svn under linux, but dont know what the easiest client might be. I am used to Tortoise svn. Any suggestions?

You know, I am well aware there are many different svn clients out there, and I downloaded and tried compiling about 6-7 of them last night. What I was wondering was what other people use and what they prefer.

svn on the command line in Windows and Linux. There's nothing else that can give me the power I need.

I agree with pcmattman - having a GUI between me and my repository makes me feel nervous.
But as you're a Tortoise user gone GNOME, you'll probably like
NautilusSVN.

The point I was trying to make is that the best SVN client is the
official one, all the others are just boring front ends.
Once that's installed, you can use apropos(1) to find and read the relevant man pages.. and consider bookmarking the following website as well.

Good luck..

well to be honest with you, i guess i havnt been asking good questions because i dont even really know what svn is, and wasnt sure what i was talking about, and I actually did look for tutorials before I asked, but they didnt quite enlighten me on the nature of svn. Thank you for the link, I will read up on it.

I think that was not humour. Git can use a svn repository.

ftw!
I just stick with the CL when it comes to source management. I agree with pcmattman/Solar on the nervousness when it comes to using GUIs for this particular task.

What are you using the repo for? If it is code projects why not just use the svn client for you IDE?
