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.
