Answer 1

In case if someone is looking to install Command line client tools on top of already installed Tortoise, you can do this.

1. Download the latest from website (https://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html) and open the exe.
2. When you reach this screen (see below), untick all, but `command line client tools'.
3. Press "Next" and continue the installation.

This will only install command line client tools on top of your existing Tortoise.

Hope this will help someone. Cheers!

Subversion is not installed by default on Windows. You have to install it to be able to use 'svn' command lines. Packages can be found here: http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html
