Including CLI client in TortoiseSVN installer?

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before and decided against on
architectural grounds. But it seems to me that it might make life
easier for a lot of people if the TortoiseSVN installer could
(optionally) install the CLI tools svn/svnadmin/etc along with the
TortoiseSVN binaries and (optionally) set the path to include the
TortoiseSVN directory.

In my case, TortoiseSVN is my main client with 95% of repository
access occurring through TSVN. However, a few times I need to use a
CLI feature, so I need to ensure that every time I update, I update my
CLI install at the same time (I'm using SlikSVN, without Apache
bindings, for that). Add to that the fact that TSVN helpfully includes
plink to allow svn+ssh connections right out of the box and the
benefits become even more obvious and pronounced.

The extra hassle of making sure I match both programs on upgrade
actually means that I upgrade much more seldom than I otherwise would
and end up running (slightly) outdated clients.

Thanks for TSVN,

Best,
Magnus
