Hrm. Oddly enough, it seems we've made a pass at this fix before...

         ### This conditional was added to counteract a little bug in
         Subversion 0.33.0's mod_dav_svn whereby both the <txdelta>
         and <fetch-file> tags were being transmitted. Someday, we
         should remove the conditional again to give the server the
         option of sending inline text-deltas for some files while
         telling the client to fetch others. */
