This is probably an FAQ. TSVN is a GUI (graphical user interface),
not a CLI (command line interface). Just get the CLI interface and
install it and then you will have 'svn', 'svnadmin', ...

These can be used from batch files/scripts. There is an included
utility called 'svnversion' that it what you want.

IMO it would be _really_ nice if TSVN included the CLI binaries ---
it's a pain for me to have to DL and install the CLI binaries when I
update TSVN. I've heard reasons why they are not included (size and
most people probably don't want them). It's not a criticism, just a
personal preference. I'm wondering what the TSVN group uses for CLI
binaries, I find it hard to believe that 'power users' would not want
a CLI interface for scripting.

The windows binaries on the Subversion site are old. I get them from
the Slik SVN site (http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download). They are very
current and easy to install. There are several other sites where you
can get current builds, most also over some sort of svn services.

Cheers
