I can't give on opinion because for me it is not the ide's role to manage SVN.

why not ? I don't see the point of coding inside theide, close it (because if you don't do so, you'll surely get some modified files overwrote by it because of autosave...), launch an external svn gui (or use a command line tool), maybe launch some gui diff/merge app id needed, restart theide... where's the advantage ?

I think this functionality will not be complete like smartSVN or command line svn tools can be.

That depends only on how much of svn features are brought inside theide. I don't know smartsvn, but I tried tortoisesvn. Fancy app, but what you do with svn 99% of time ? commits and updates.

How about creating branchs/tags, merging branchs, add non upp files, rename/move directories ?

all that stuffs could be managed easily inside theide. I mean to start *simple*, then extend it if people finds it useful.

Sorry it is not the most important feature to implement in TheIDE for me. But if it can be useful for others : good courage !

Well, the most important stuff surely not... but this is very subjective. For my point of view, the most annoyng stuffs by now are the poor debugger and the lack of documentation. But I place at third place a good embedded versioning system. I'm not a fan of "all gui apps", I usually use svn on command line and MELD as diff gui (yes, that one IS good!), but I'd find far more comfortable to do all that inside theide.
