That question is answered in part if you follow links from http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=2915 to http://sourceforge.net/docs/E09 to http://sourceforge.net/docs/B01/en/svn_client#svn_client. Those links all have useful information. The last link mentions "TortoiseSVN 1.2.6 and above, for Microsoft Windows", and "The official SVN client, included in most Linux and BSD distributions; available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and Windows." My Linux experience is even as old a Linux client as that available on Debian stable works fine for our SF repository accessed with the https:// method. Apparently, there are important differences in subversion repository format between the various subversion versions. However, there is an apache subversion module that understands all these different repository formats which makes it a seamless experience for users like me with an old svn client version when they access the SF repository with the the https:// method.
