Re: SVN Browser/Management Application...

No, I have not used Polarion. I have ran through the demos and and read the
white papers on their site. Pretty complete application. Definitely worth
a closer look. I recommend calling their sales staff. They are pretty
helpful and can answer the questions your asking with more authority.

Keep in mind, the requirements you're asking for are a mix of a couple
systems. Take some time divide them up, you'll see a grouping pattern
emerge. I think with Polarion and some other tools like the SVNManager, you
can get what you want. Subversion is still to young in the client side of
things to find products that encompass everything.
