You know, of all the features of Perforce, I would not have expected
"GUI client" to be the one that would be beating us out. Now their
intelligent merging support, that would be a more convincing argument...
At least until we get to that problem post-1.0 ;-)

There are a number of different clients listed on
http://subversion.tigris.org/project_links.html
Personally, I suggest you take a look at RapidSVN and TortoiseSVN, as
they seem to be the most full featured gui clients, but depending on
your specific needs some of the others might also be useful.
