Google showed me http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ as the site for a subversion 
client on Windows. It talks about easy to use from Windows Explorer. So I hope 
a Windows user is able to come up with a HOWTO or Cookbook for the whole 
process. The latest version is from November 2010, so it is not a dead end.
Using subversion is very easy, just one command to set it up and two commands 
for regular use, an update command and a commit command. If anything goes 
wrong I just delete the whole directory and subdirectories and does the setup 
command again.

You did not raise a concern for a translation utility on Windows with spell 
checking, a glossary of word translation and a translation memory, so I assume 
that is not a problem. Otherwise, someone familiar with such a utility should 
cover that part.
