Cirata, VisualSVN and SlikSVN on the other hand are commercial entities and
it might be possible to negotiate support contracts with them, something
that may be important for a service to run =E2=80=9Dextremely well=E2=80=9D=
.

TortoiseSVN is very much volunteer driven.

I doubt there are much differences between the projects with regards to
stability, except they might contain different versions of the
dependencies. For example TortoiseSVN currently bundle a version of OpenSSL
which seems to crash on ARM under some circumstances.

Cheers,
Daniel

        Please don&#39;t assume endorsement just because the project
