Putting uncompressed .svg files in a git repository would make it *smaller*, 
since then git can do small and proper deltas between the files. With 
compressed files that's not possible, the delta between two .svgz would be 
pretty large (git would probably decide it's not worth it and store the new 
.svgz file as a whole).
