As fulltext, though the loader should be able to handle a delta against
any. It wouldn't be too hard to make the dumper do a delta against any,
but it didn't come naturally. (Also, the binary DB stores plaintext for
the head revision of files, so it doesn't seem like it should hurt too
much space-wise to use plaintext for the first rev of each added file.
Though I imagine it makes a difference for big imports....)

I can't quite figure out where you were coming from here, but you seem
to have been answered successfully in other mail.
