Comment (by rhaas):
It's not. Compressing with h5repack -f SHUF -f GZIP=9 reduces its size to 11MiB from 19MiB. From the looks of it svn stores it in compressed form on the server though (a local svn repository containing the 19MiB file is only 12MiB large). Subversion also transfers data in compressed form over the network (I think).
So it is uncompressed on the user's disk but compressed everywhere else. We can certainly go ahead and compress the hdf5 file though I don't think it will help speed up up checkouts or reduce load on the server. I will however reduce the checkout size on the user's disk (by ~10MiB since svn keeps two copies around).
