OK.

Does this mean that svn uses internally the same algorithm as xdelta (http://code.google.com/p/xdelta/)

This would mean that I could directly use

xdelta3 -s SOURCE TARGET > OUT

to estimate how big the differences between binary files are (without creating some svn test repository and measuring repostiory size)
