I think Stefan was pretty clear when he said:

IMHO (and TSVN is Stefan's baby, so his will be the official answer),
the name you have chosen is far too similar to TortoiseSVN, both in
appearance and pronunciation. "Mantis" is clearly different from
"SVN"; "SV1" is not.
Also consider your own branding - "TortoiseSV1" also has no clear
connection to the bug tracker you're integrating with. How would I
know to look for this if I'm using VersionOne's product? Or if I found
it, how would I know by the name that it provides integration with
that product?
