Oh, just wondering: that 0.02% is negligible, but did you use "-f" (or --no-reuse-delta if you're testing with 'git pack-objects') to see that it's actually re-computing the deltas? The 0.02% difference might be just because of differences in pack layout. If you force all deltas to be recomputed, maybe the difference is much bigger?
