Best way to do subversion stuff

I'd like to write some small command-line utilities to do some tasks
in subversion:
* Do a commit that includes all modified externals.
* Do a status that includes status of all externals.
* Do a log that combines logs of . and all externals.
There appear to be three options:
1) pysvn <http://pysvn.tigris.org/>
This seems to be the canonical Python API, but is a little out of
date (I'd have to downgrade subversion from 1.9.3 to 1.9.1).
2) PySvn <https://github.com/dsoprea/PySvn>
Doesn't do commit or status operations and doesn't handle
externals at all. AFIACT it's running the the command-line
/usr/bin/svn with various options.
Nice job picking a name that's not going to get mixed up with
pysvn. ;)
3) os.subproces + /usr/bin/svn
This is more or less re-inventing 2) The xml output option makes
this approach fairly easy. It might be faster to write something
special-purpose from scratch than to figure out the internals of
PySvn and modify it to add the operations/options I want.
Any recommendations?
