Here's a new version (attached). The previous script had a freezing
problem when a background process was started via $SVN_SSH. The
method used to solve this problem also allowed me to solve the
exit status problem.

# svn wrapper to avoid "svn: Write error: Broken pipe" error messages
# when piping the svn output to some command.
#
# Note: the svnwrapper:term trick prevents this script from freezing
# if svn starts a background process via $SVN_SSH (e.g. ssh -fMN ...
# for connection sharing) that still has its stderr connected to the
# pipe after svn terminates. It also allows the script to propagate
# the exit status of svn when there is no broken pipe.
