Check TortoiseSVN features for sure.
It's one of the last software which is making me feel somewhat lost in linux (I migrated to kubuntu 6.10 this winter at home, as I don't see Vista as a viable development platform anymore).

I hate the "extension of explorer" nature of Tortoise, but when I need to do something (something more than just commit modified files, there are some other tools for that) with my SVN repository in work, the Tortoise is the only choice available (except command line svn). Even made me (forced Very Happy

) to get used to extension of explorer way of work.

Still I would prefer some basic IDE integration at least for update/commit/revert/resolve_conflict/showing_status tasks, maybe some switching between branches, check outs, and keeping projects up to date with those changes. Also adding of new files should be very intuitive and foolproof. Many careless programmers tend to add new files to project and forget them to add into svn. The more aggressively IDE will notify this ("unknown" status on a file which is used by build process during commit), the better. Very Happy

Branching/Merging/etc... is not needed as often and once I find a linux tortoise equivalent I will not miss those in IDE very much.

But honestly I'm not sure how such good integration should look to get not into path of programmer during programming, yet always ready to be used whenever you need it.
