Good SVN client?



At work we're migrating from Source"Safe" to SVN. There is a strong
focus on GUI-based tools for this, and the dev environment is Windows-
only.

I'm currently using TortoiseSVN which looks very pretty but is
excruciating, frustrating and confusing in the extreme to use;
absolutely nothing works the way you'd expect. Is there a simple-to-
use Win32 SVN client that does NOT have shell integration, and that
can:

- look at the repository and compare two versions in the repository.
(I still haven't worked out how to do this in Tortoise).
- compare copy on my hard disk to repository HEAD.
- check in, check out, lock, unlock.
- merge capability is optional (we never use it, don't trust it).

I basically want something that pops up two window panes, one showing
the repository, one showing my hard drive.
