A lot of chatter about using Git and Subversion from the command line versus clients. Folks, take your time and learn the command lines. There’s a lot of stuff you can use the UI clients don’t always wrap into UI. Things like post-commit hooks, etc make the command line way more pure and powerful.

Here’s the same list for Git/Github.

But for Subversion, you can get most of what you need out of [cci]svn co[/cci], [cci]svn ci[/cci], [cci]svn commit[/cci], [cci]svn diff[/cci], and [cci]svn status[/cci].

Learn these and you won’t know everything about svn, but you’ll be most of the way there.
