Why not just drop svndiff1 from the line above? Would svndiff1 be any better
than svndiff+gzip in this case?

This would hurt 1.4+ servers without mod_deflate that could have sent
svndiff1, but isn't it easier for them to install compression and get
it everywhere (log etc.) than to rely on custom compression in the
delta format?
