I just got a new PC running Windows 7 (64-bit). I'd like to install an SVN client (command line only, I don't want TortoiseSVN). I'm not sure which of these to install:
http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#windows
does anyone have any opinions on this?
I tried going for the ones hosted by Tigris, but the downloaded zip says to read an install file hosted at their site, but the link is broken. Do we simply download, then call svn.exe as needed, no need for a real 'install'?

TortoiseSVN is an Apache™ Subversion (SVN)® client, implemented as a Windows shell extension. It's intuitive and easy to use, since it doesn't require the Subversion command line client to run. And it is free to use, even in a commercial environment. Simply the coolest Interface to (Sub)Version Control!
You can download svn on windows without registration. Install Chocolatey chocolatey.org/docs/installation , and then type choco install svn . The subversion download on CollabNet is no where to be found and all the links are redirected to the home page.
To check whether it is installed or not use following command. If Subversion client is not installed, then command will report error, otherwise it will display the version of the installed software. If you are using RPM-based GNU/Linux, then use yum command for installation.
The SVN client allows you to browse repositories, check for changes, commit changes, update your working copy, and examine the revision history.
EDIT: By now TortoiseSVN includes the command-line client as well, if you choose to install it:
I've been using SlikSVN for some time now because the “official” CollabNet-branded command-line client is behind registration and stuff. It's still built from exactly the same sources and shares the same features, bugs, etc. so for all intents and purposes it's the same.

I use CollabNet's command line client for windows.

It even has update notifications.
