This is true. However, you are talking about reporting data, and he was
asking about checkout of actual things in the repository.

In this case it may be best to just offer anonymous ssh with
compression, the way other people do (however, rather than have a key
that everyone installs, you just have an anonssh password).
However, i will explore making it use zlib to send logs when possible
anyway (this should be able to be implemented in a backwards compatible
manner because of how the protocol works).
