It is a bit of a pain to work with libsvn, but I think it is worth using it, not only due to protocol support, but also due to ready-to-use support for SVN deltas and dumps. Pipelining could be implemented by maintaining a set of connections (svn_ra_session_t structures) and manually distributing work between them.
