Try rapidsvn. If you have a folder with an existing working copy on your
file system, you can "point" rapid at that. So, "point" instead of "mount"
then I guess.
Mount, as a word, has a pretty clear general meaning. I think its funny, so
I go with that.
The cli doesn't have any parallel here because you just cd into that
directory. A gui tool would either look at the whole file system, or you
would have to add each working copy you want to access. The process of
adding that working copy is what I've called "mount" or "point".
