Hi Andreas / Daniel / Brane,
Thank you very much for the quick reply. Understood.
Please see my replies below.
Thanks.

>>> Please don't assume endorsement just because the project publishes tho=
se links. They're a service to the community, no more and no less.
Understood.
Thanks.
>>> [...] It might be best if you try them all and see which one best fit=
s your requirements.
Yes.
I will research them all.
>>> TortoiseSVN (optionally installs 32- and 64-bit (x64 and ARM64) comman=
d line tools and svnserve; supported and maintained by the TortoiseSVN proj=
ect)
Tortoise will be installed as well.
That's a high possibility to use its SVN.EXE.
Great.
>>> I doubt there are much differences between the projects with regards to=
stability, except they might contain different versions of the dependencie=
s.
Good point.
I will look for dependency aspects when researching.
Thanks.
~ John

You don't say what you actually need (other than that it "run extremely wel=

Cirata, VisualSVN and SlikSVN on the other hand are commercial entities and=
it might be possible to negotiate support contracts with them, something t=

TortoiseSVN is very much volunteer driven.
I doubt there are much differences between the projects with regards to sta=

or example TortoiseSVN currently bundle a version of OpenSSL which seems to=
