Comparison of Subversion clients

There are several subversion clients as TortoiseSVN, SmartSVN, RabbitVCS, VisualSVN, AnkhSVN, etc... Choose the better svn client is not easy because it depends from the usage you want to do and the other softwares related.
The goal of this short article is to make a brief overview of some of the clients in circulation highlighting the relevant terms for each of them.
