I agree with the assessment that labeling this feature as "estimate of data transfer" will be a cause of all kinds of bug reports "your estimate is wrong". Even if Subversion offered a way to deltify the files in advance to give a reasonable estimate of the transfer size, YMMV because of different thing: network overhead, on-the-wire compression to mention a few. Would it make a difference to just label it as a "sum of selected file size" and never mentioning transfer size?
