This type of question is best sent to the users mailing list.
Support for optional and/or compressed text bases is a long-standing
feature request which *might* be taken up by Google "Summer of Code"
participants this year. The absolute earliest you'd be likely to see
this feature in Subversion would be 1.5.0 release. If no SoC
participant takes up this task, it could easily be longer.
