Re: Should 'svnadmin dump --deltas' write svndiff1 diffs? (was Re: svn commit: r18363)

This will always be the case.

1. Even with the deltas, there is still significant plain text in the
dump file.
2. gzip will get to see larger pieces than we do.

we only get to encode one delta at a time.

Depending on the size of your files and deltas, gzip is going to get to
compress seeing multiple deltas at once.
