We cannot guarantee to be the only shell extension, or the only version
control system, so Subversion has to be explicitly mentioned. Some time
ago we added SVN prefixes to the main context menu entries because of
confusion with TCVS.

An alternative description might be:

SVN Move versioned files here
SVN Copy versioned files here
SVN Copy & rename versioned files here
SVN Add files to this WC
SVN Export to here
SVN Export all to here

The SVN prefix makes our group stand out a bit more. Or it could be done
with a TOrtoiseSVN sub-menu.
