Well, it's not that bad. An svndiff against /dev/null is still a
self-compression, and should trim a good amount off the size of a text
file. (It may look like the whole file is there as fulltext, but if you
page down a bit, you'll most likely start seeing some gaps.)

Still, this is pretty dumb when we're using ra_local. Not sure what the
best fix is.
