mod_deflate when using Apache2 as SVN Server

Hi every body.

I've read in the INSTALL file
(http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/INSTALL) that the svn client is
able to receive compressed content from an Apache2 svn server and thus
it is possible to use mod_deflate and place a "SetOutputFilter DEFLATE"
into the <Location> block or into the <VirtualHost> Block. It should be
also possible to tweak compression by using "|DeflateCompressionLevel|"?

But does it make sence to use a "SetInputFilter DEFLATE"? In other words
is the svn client able to send gzip compressed content to the server?

Regards,
cam.
