Support compression in svnserve

We plan on using the “svnserve” server configuration (not tunneled over ssh and not under the Apache HTTP server).  We need support for compression, particularly for the initial checkout of a file.  The other posts regarding this have mentioned that you can get compression with Apache or with ssh, neither of which applies to our use case.  Also, some posts point out that updates and diffs already send a fairly small amount of data between the client and server, but where we see slowness is in retrieving the snapshot of a file (e.g., checking out a file or doing an update which pulls in new files).  Our client and server are separated by a low bandwidth pipe.  -- Steve
