Generally I just use the command line for svn, it's the fastest and easiest way to do it to be honest, I'd recommend you try it.
Before you dismiss this, you should probably ask yourself if there is really any feature that you need a GUI for, and whether you would prefer to open up a GUI app and download the files, or just type svn co svn://site-goes-here.org/trunk
You can easily add, remove, move, commit, copy or update files with simple commands given with svn help, so for most users it is more than enough.
IMHO there is one great svn gui client, SmartSVN. It is commercial project, but there is foundation version (100% functional) witch can be used free of charge, even for commercial purposes. It is written in java, so it is multi-platform (it requires sun-java* package) http://smartsvn.com
Nobody else has mentioned it and I keep forgetting the name so I'm adding these instructions here for my future self the next time I google it...
currently pagavcs seems to be the best option.
you want one of these .deb files
sillyspamfilter://pagavcs.googlecode.com/svn/repo/pool/main/p/pagavcs/
(1.4.33 is what I have installed right now so try that one if the latest causes problems)
install then run
nautilus -q
to shutdown nautilus, then open up nautilus again and you should be good to go without having to logout/shutdown
Sadly rabbit just chokes on large repos for me so is unusable, paga doesn't slow down browsing but also doesn't seem to try and recourse into directories to see if anything has changed.
Take a look at SVN Work Bench, it's decent but not perfect
sudo apt-get install svn-workbench
