Ok, that's a new info for me. I only use the client from time to time.
I've tried to install a svn server and the only thing I could find (a few
years ago) was something like this (debian package):

libapache2-svn - Subversion server modules for Apache

I think I'll give it a try on my server at home....

You are the second one you told me that. ssh-agent is already running, so
I only have to read the manual how to add my key.

That's your decision. I would prefer icons with hover text, but shortened
labels are OK. Is there a way to cut off the strings depending on the
space needed? I think the mentioned "single character" labels are to
hard....
