Server Name Indication (SNI)
I was contemplating changing my repository to use named-based virtual
hosting over a secure connection. This requires some reconfiguration of
Apache and installation of mod_gnutls. Before I do that, I want to
determine if Subversion clients can use SNI. (Particularly the Windows
command line client and Tortoise.)

Caveat for those wanting to host regular web content this way: IE on XP
doesn't support SNI. Most other browsers do, and IE7 on Vista does. You can
test your browser here:

Thanks for the clarification. I've been using the "tigris" binaries. Since
I now know that Slik has the desired capability, I'll probably use that.

I seem to have delivery problems to that list (I've been subscribed for
awhile and get messages fine), so I just reposted my question there via
Gmane.

Noted, thanks. (BTW, I haven't seen any Windows binary releases announced
since 1.5.3 in October. The newer packages appear, but with no
announcement.)

All the Windows binaries on http://subversion.tigris.org/getting.html are
just as official as any other binary distribution. (The Subversion project
itself doesn't provide binaries). The Collabnet, 'Tigris' and Slik
Subversion binaries are all created by volunteers outside the Subversion
project.. (But all three of them have at least one Subversion full committer
behind them).
For the TortoiseSVN part you should ask on the tortoisesvn mailinglist:
users{_AT_}tortoisesvn.tigris.org.

Note: The 'Tigris' binaries are not really from Tigris but from a set of
volunteers, see the bottom of the getting.html page..

The ones I'm most interested in are the "official" Windows command line
binaries, and TortoiseSVN.

This depends on how openssl was configured during the build of the client.
I know the Slik Subversion client, SharpSvn and AnkhSVN support this because
I explicitly scripted this flag in their build environment, but I'm not sure
if other clients support this.
