I would like to write a script that checks out stuff from a repository every couple of hours, and I'd like to know if I could use SmartSVN from the command line to do it. If SmartSVN can't be used from the command line, what subversion client could I use? Please recommend one that supports authentication as well ( I'm hoping all of them know how to do that, but you never know ).

A:
I do not know about SmartSVN. Using the official Subversion binaries will give you command-line access.

SVN also has bindings for a number of scripting languages such as Python and Perl, if you want to go that route.

@Ferruccio: Yes, that will be a better route.
