That's probably true. Which is why you should take a look at TortoiseSVN. ;)
OK...
Yep, TortoiseSVN seems much more mature than RapidSVN. It reduced the checkout byte count to something fairly reasonable, etc.
The reason I prefer a separate client to the explore plug-in is to be able to see the branch/tag. That prevents mistakes due to me being confused about which branch/tag/revision is currently the working copy for a file. Perhaps that isn't a problem with Subversion, or there is a way to get TortoiseSVN to display the current branch/tag, or at least some indication that the current copy is not the HEAD.
You can find out which repository directory a particular SVN local directory is referencing by right-clicking, going into the TortoiseSVN submenu and choosing Repo Browser. A TortoiseSVN setting ( TortoiseSVN sub-menu | Settings | Look and Feel | Context Menu ) lets you put the TortoiseSVN submenu Repo Browser directly in your right-clicked main menu. A good suggestion to the TortoiseSVN people on the NG might be to put the full repository path referenced by an SVN local directory directly on the right-click submenu, at least as an option, to make it even easier to see what repository path an SVN local directory references.
