Old BDB-backed repositories stored the older revision as fulltext and
newer revisions as deltas. Repositories created with or 'svnadmin
upgrade'd by 1.6 and newer reverse this for new revisions of files
(while making sure not to introduce a dependency loop in the direction
of deltas).

From some time ago I remember that previous versions of SVN stored "almost" always a HEAD revision as fulltext, and others as reverse deltas.(except the case when a delta is bigger that fulltext) Was this behavior changed in SVN 1.7? I've looked at the notes about BDB and they don't differ almost at all from SVN 1.4's ones. Of course, I could look into the code more carefully, but my hope was that it wouldn't be a big deal to give me a short answer, if possible.
