Subversion uses a binary diffing algorithm which allows it to store
deltas for binary and plain text with equal aplomb, so there would be
no space savings by "disabling" it (in fact, quite the opposite -
you'd end up using a lot more space in the repository). The only place
where it doesn't work very well is with compressed files.
