Side note: the original explicit git "delta" objects by Nicolas Pitre 
would have handled this large-file-case much more gracefully. 

The pack-files had absolutely huge advantages, though, so I think we (I) 
did the right thing there in making the delta code only a very specific 
special case..

It is possible that we could re-introduce the "explicit delta" object, 
though (it's not incompatible with also doing pack-files, it's just that 
pack-files made 99% of all the arguments for an explicit delta go away).
