I was about to reply that deltas in the FS layer are an implementation
detail of that layer, invisible to higher layers such as the repos layer
(where the get-file-revs handling for blame actually takes place). But then
I noticed that svn_fs_fs__get_file_delta_stream() actually does optimize the
case where the delta requested matches the delta stored. So, yeah, there
may just be something to your suspicion.
