The option name feels a bit wrong here, like if it meant the max number
of deltas in a pack. Nothing better comes to my mind at the moment
though.
pack.maxDeltaSize sounds weird when said aloud.
How about pack.deltaMaxSize?
That sounds like, how big should a delta be? E.g. set it to 200
and any delta instruction stream over 200 bytes would be discarded,
causing the whole object to be stored instead. Which is obviously
somewhat silly, but that's the way I'd read that option...

You're right, that _is_ a strange color for the bike shed...
Since 'delta' names both the action and the result of the action, it's
tricky to get it unambiguous without helping the grammar along a little.
pack.maxFileSizeToDelta
is probably the shortest we're going to get it while avoiding ambiguity.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
