Ok, I did a quick version that didn't replace anything at all, and it

doesn't look like there is room for that helping much. Yes, I can speed

things up, but it didn't get much faster than just raising the delta cache

to 1024 entries.
Admittedly my quick hack might have been fundamentally flawed, but it was

such an ugly thing that I'm not even going to post it.
And the added memory footprint makes it unacceptable, so it's going to be

limited by the cache size anyway, and not get a lot of hits in git

rev-list, methinks.
