I don't know about 0.31.1 with 0.35.1,
but generally we had major troubles when mixing server/client versions
(hangs during updates; costed us a lot of time before
we found out the reason).
Because of this, we STRICTLY follow the policy to always
use EXACTLY the same version for server and client.

Tortoise has some crashes,
but the main problem I see is the missing diff functionality.

See my previos emails for some details.
All in all, personally I think Subversion with http://
and command-line frontend itself is very stable and relyable;
however, I didn't find a client which is ready now.

(However, because of John's hint I'm currently installing
the latest Tortoise - let's see!)

Cheers,
