Thanks for the suggestions. For what it's worth, here's what I
found. All were tested from Ubuntu Gutsy packages, not from the
latest version source.

RapidSVN: it's okay. I found a bug in the import procedure. I don't
really like the interface (bookmarks).

TkCVS: I didn't like this one, it's overkill (I only need SVN, not
CVS). Starting the repo browser crashed because CVS wasn't installed
(and I couldn't easily figure out how to browse an SVN repository).

esvn: bug in the repo browser: garbage data on the righthand side
when you are browsing a folder that only contains other folders.

subcommander: bug in the repo browser: I clicked on a folder, tried
to Import, and the commit window that came up didn't contain my
file selections.

I'd really like something like TortoiseSVN, something that integrated
with the ubuntu file browser. But for now, because of the presence
of bugs, I'll stick with the command line. Sigh...
