DB size vs. dump size

Just FYI, I used 'svnadmin dump' on the Perl patches repository; I'm trying to 
help set up svn.perl.org (a future public repository of Perl).

The repository database directory is ~540MB and the dump file is ~3.5GB, though 
it gzipped down to only 892M.

Yah, dumpfiles are big, because they use fulltext for each revision of
a file.
