"The second useful option is |--deltas|. This option causes *svnadmin
dump* to, instead of emitting full-text representations of file contents
and property lists, emit only deltas of those items against their
previous versions. This reduces (in some cases, drastically) the size of
the dump file that *svnadmin dump* creates. There are, however,
disadvantages to using this option—deltified dump files are more
CPU-intensive to create, cannot be operated on by *svndumpfilter*, and
tend not to compress as well as their nondeltified counterparts when
using third-party tools such as *gzip* and *bzip2*."
