If you don't mind polling after you launch your svn command try this:

Process command = new Process();

command.StartInfo.Arguments = "your svn arguments here";
command.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

command.Start();

while (!command.StandardOutput.EndOfStream)

    Console.WriteLine(command.StandardOutput.ReadLine());
}
