Does bacula compress on a file by file basis, or does it compress the
entire data stream (I have the gzip option on)?

I ask because I use the subversion version control system, and it
keeps complete copies of every file in hidden directories beneath the
the main ones.  I was wondering whether I should exclude them.  Then I
realized they might not take up that much more space if the
compression is really smart.

I probably could exclude those directories (the subversion hidden
ones) without much loss, but if there's not much cost I'd just as
soon keep them.

I also realize that even if compression is not file by file the main
file and the subversion copy may be too far apart to be recognized and
compressed appropriately.  Whether they would be compressed is really
what I want to know, but I thought I'd ask a question someone could
actually answer :)
