Linux used to have a fantastic client – KDE-SVN for KDE 3.5. It was better than Tortoise in many ways (it not only showed what you had modified locally, but not committed, but also showed what was newer on the server than the version you had), but not as good in others. The move to KDE4 broke it, and now it has “more bugs than a bait store”, and crashes on routine operations. It was also integrated with Konqueror, the old KDE file manager, and no one has (to my knowledge) taken the time to port it to Dolphin, so now it is just another, separate SVN client. http://www.scottgrizzard.com/blog/2009/06/14/the-killer-app-keeping-her-on-windows-is-open-source/ [...] [...] The Killer App keeping her on Windows is… Open Source?

I really appreciate the work being done. I like the polished UI and features, like integration with Meld diff viewer. They could declare the beta as the release (as for me it works without problems on my Jaunty). It lacks the repo browser and can't (yet) automatically update status icons when something changes, but I can live without these features, though I keep my eyes open for updates.
