Fixed in r1086936.

Well, that's what it's requiring. Hence the comments.

Though as I said on IRC, I can't come up with a good way of doing this.
Do you want a macro like this? I think that's ugly.
SVN_ERR_CALL_UNLESS(err->apr_err, SVN_ERR_IO_PIPE_WRITE_ERROR,
svn_handle_error2(err, stderr, FALSE, "svn: "));
#define SVN_ERR_CALL_UNLESS(error_code1, error_code2, expr) \
if ((error_code1) != (error_code2) (expr)
Something that hard-codes error_code2 to EPIPE would also be ugly.
Note that this macro would need to be shared between several commands,
not just 'svn'.
