Hm, why would you prefer fulltext for adds-without-history? I just
discovered that it's a one-line change to do adds as deltas against
empty, and it saves another 25% on the diffy dumpfile size for the
Subversion project repository. (The resulting diffy dumpfile isn't as
compressible, but compressability wasn't really my goal.) It also
seems more elegant to me, since we transmit commits of added files
over the wire as deltas against empty.
