SVN Client vs Repository Browser

If I have an SVN client installed on my machine, do I still need a Repository Browser? My understanding is that 'Repository Browser' is a read-only SVN client. Could someone throw some light on this?

Update - Adding more specific questions:

  1. Do all SVN clients come with a Repository Browser?
  2. Are 'Repository Browsers' available standalone, that would just allow you to browse through the SVN repo, but not check-in/check-out etc?
Solution
    1. No. RepoBrowser in TSVN isn't read-only client for browsed repository, you can (if you have sufficient rights) change repository data from RepoBrowser
    2. No. Not all SVN-clients have repobrowser feature (at least CLI Subversion client doesn't have it)
    3. Yes, to some degree. I don't know special RepositoryBrowser-only desktop applications, but such Webapps exist in the Net (WebSVN, ViewVC).
