Hello,
My need is to work with a different version control : svn

I find the site very difficult to navigate and read ( subversion.tigris.org )

Maybe I dont understand svn thats why

Here is my understanding :
1 >You need a svn server installed
2 >You need a svn client
3 >checkout checkin etc from server to client machine(s)

Here are my questions :
Using eclipse I am able to use svn client
I want to use a command line client - looking at svn tigris site just gives me the creeps - I dont see a straight way to get a command line client

Googling has not really helped me much either

I want a client for windows box

I also downloaded tortoise svn - but istnt that more a graphical tool ?

First question that would come to mind is why I want to use a command line tool rather than a graphical tool ? -
1 >I want to learn the exact commands
2 >I want to automate the process of checking out code with ant / maven and then with a CI tool

Lastly - can I use Tortoise SVN from command line ?

Thanks,
anagha

I'm not sure what confused you about the web site. I was able to find what you're looking for rather quickly: Windows Binaries -> CollabNet -> Bingo! a Windows command line client two clicks away from the home page.

Tortoise is for integration with the Windows Explorer, not for command line work.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
