Notably: dump-load-format.txt does not describe the delta format. I have since seen hints in the SVN Book that version 3 uses some kind of binary delta compression. But the SVN book does not describe either of these details; it's not even clear enough for me to be sure I'm not hallucinating the "binary" part.
See notes/svndiff. It describes the format of the binary deltas and how to produce target data given plaintext source + delta. (It doesn't describe how to _produce_ the deltas).
