xdelta and vdelta are merely the internal algorithms used to produce
binary diff data; the format of the binary diff data itself
("svndiff" format) hasn't changed. In other words, any version of
the client can read svndiff data -- it's usually impossible to tell
which algorithm generated the data.
The only danger of a < 1.2 client accessing a 1.2 repository is that
it will ignore locks. The releasenotes discusses this, I believe.
