In fact, after testing on another reprository, the difference doesn't
come from the client version, but from which version has created the
repository. Example:

$ svnadmin dump ~svn/root.bak --incremental --deltas -r0:16 > dump1
$ svnadmin create tmprep
$ svnadmin load --force-uuid tmprep < dump1
$ svnadmin dump tmprep --incremental --deltas -r0:16 > dump2
$ ls -l dump?
