One difference is that TSVN can handle situations where multiple
matching certificates are in the local store: it then shows a dialog
where you can select the correct certificate, and it then saves that
certificate and doesn't ask anymore for it.
CM always uses the first certificate that matches the server request -
whether that certificate is still valid or not. It never shows a cert
selection dialog.
