It makes sense enough that WebSVN uses an export to extract files this way
to tar and/or compress (gzip) them prior to download. I'm not sure why "it
doesn't make sense" here. Maybe I'm missing something?

Ok, sounds look a good alternative, I'll see if that can work by plugging
into the WebSVN php scripts; I'll just cat the old rev to a file to be
tarred/gzipped (or just outright downloaded). Thanks for the tip.

Also, I need to build a file for outright (non-tarred, non-gzipped)
downloads, because there is no way I can yet tell to figure out the size of
a file before it's extracted from the repo...and WebSVN needs to know of
the size of the file that's being download so it can show download progress
on the browser (and technically speaking so WebSVN can populate the
Content-length http header...I think). I started another thread on asking
for a 'svnlook size' command...but I don't think I got any response on that.
