These files used to show up compressed with gzip. It does not
seem to be the case for some time. With sizes like
37M 0dc08d372184e56c71a32b6abbd6fbdd8eedfd3d-primary.sqlite
65M b860206f9cc245151e10625c725c8c2eb0145c31-filelists.sqlite
this makes a substantial difference on slower connections and not
everybody has T1. A disk space starts to add up too. Was this
change deliberate? Even a default gzip compression shaves between
70 and 80 percent of these.
