My understanding was that Neon originally supported skelta mode only,
but that was before 1.0. Switching to bulk mode happened before 1.0
to enable the performance needed for release.

Mike Pilato added the server side switch later (1.5?) to force Neon to
use skelta mode. The code was already there and worked, the server
just never used it. This switch was added because a couple of users
wanted the log trail to show every file in their repository that was
read and did not care about the performance hit.

I could be wrong, but that is how I remember this.
