It would be very interesting to hear what the size is of a dump of the
subversion repository for the following cases, and also how long the
dump (including any compression) takes:

1. fulltext dump
2. fulltext dump + "gzip -9"
3. fulltext dump + "bzip2 -9"
4. delta dump
5. delta dump + "gzip -9"
6. delta dump + "bzip2 -9"

I'm planning to test this myself, but I'm thinking that you might have
some numbers already.
