Why A Tortoise?
editWhy a tortoise? The FAQ on the site... it says nothing --212.112.179.180 (talk) 08:25, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
TortoiseSVN is based on TortoiseCVS. The name is a pun on the word shell. The tortoise in the logo is called Charlie Vernon Smythe (CVS). The project was started by Francis Irving when he was employed by Creature Labs to provide a better interface to CVS for his colleagues.

VisualSVN integration
editI changed the wording here, because it wasn't clear that "all VisualSVN functionality uses TSVN" is accurate. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:03, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Tortoise??? Article
editLooking at the TortoiseCVS, TortoiseSVN, TortoiseHg, TortoiseGit, and TortoiseBzr(redirect) articles, much of the space is taken up with redirects to the others and none compare and contrast the SKUs or give a description of the common features that unify the family.
I've used TortoiseSVN a lot, and tried to use some of the others but never long enough to understand how they really differ or else I would write such an article myself. --Tletnes (talk) 15:49, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
