FWIW, ra_serf doesn't use any base64 trickery. My plan is to have
ra_serf request gzip encoding for plain-text files (i.e. no base) and
svndiff (no gzip) for when we have a delta base. The knowledge of the
delta base is way way better than requesting the entire plain text and
zlibing it back in most cases.

Greg and I have talked about mod_dav_svn not svndiff'ing a response
when the file is under some X bytes because it's just better to give
it back in plain text and avoid any diff overhead... -- justin
