I've found TortoiseSNV so convenient that when I had to re-install
IDL to get my file associations sorted out I decided not to bother
with the Subversion plug-ins.

Is there any chance you could bring your computer to lunch some day
soon?
I'd buy if you could show me what you like about this. I'm probably
using
it completely wrong, but I can't stand being thrown into a completely
different place. I've tried to turn it off, but discovered you can't,
at least not totally, so my debugging is a LOT less convenient then
it used to be. I'd be grateful to know how it was suppose to be done.

Well, I learned how to use Bookmarks, and that's pretty useful. I
start
'er up in the morning while I go milk the cow, and its ready to go
when
I get back. I just leave it on all day, because otherwise my blood
pressure
goes off the chart. :-)
Cheers,
