That wouldn't change. In a pipeline, the shell uses the return value of
the last command. So in your example, if ssh or mail fail, the whole
command fails. The return value of svn is ignored.

     $ true; echo $?
     0
     $ false; echo $?
     1
     $ true | false; echo $?
     1
     $ false | true; echo $?
     0
