**Dear TortoiseSVN,
While there are a few windows based svn clients out there the only one of
any consideration in my opinion is TortoiseSVN
<http://geomatt-www/twiki/bin/view/Users/MattWilkie/TortoiseSVN>. It is
under active development, is well supported, comprehensively covers the base
svn features, has good documentation and a usable interface. The only
significant thing I've found to dislike so far is the additional right-menu
clutter. It would be much better if one could restrict the svn-specific file
icons and menus to certain folders on your hard drive. For example the
*only* files on my computer which are in SVN are in D:\Src. It would be much
nicer to only see TSVN when I'm browsing directories in that tree. This
would be especially useful for part-time developers. There are people in
some of my workgroups who will only edit certain key files a few times a
year. It is important that those edits be under revision control but they
don't want to see menu items in their face the other 98% of the time when
they're not needed, and therefore are reluctant to install tsvn. I don't
blame them, I hate being bombarded with seldom used menus too. ;)
Thank you for taking the time to consider this idea.
