Really? Here is a quotation from SVN 1.4.6 libsvn_fs_base/note/structure:
"At present, Subversion generally stores
the youngest strings in "fulltext" form, and older strings as "delta"s
against them (unless the delta would save no space compared to the
fulltext).
"
My own experiments with SVN 1.4 code confirm that.

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.
