Subversion dumpfiles use fulltext for every revision, no deltas.

Have you considered dumping ranges of revisions, instead of the whole
repository at once? You don't need to redump the entire repository
every time, for backups.

Is it possible to get it smaller? For backup purposes over the internet
this can get quite big. The 57MB dump is bzipped still 12MB where the CVS
one is 5-6MB.
