If I understand correctly, if we see an unresolvable delta, we are just
making the assumption that its base has arrived (or will arrive) in the
same pack (without checking).  This means that we could end up with a
corrupted repository if the sender gives us a bad pack. I believe that
git's network interaction has been designed specifically to avoid such
possibilities (e.g., verifying completeness and integrity of downloaded
objects).
