The streaming code cares only about non-delta, and in general applying delta without holding the base image entirely in core would be horribly complex unless the delta only runs forwards over the delta-base image. The true general case is not something this topic is interested in (it is primarily about the large objects), and limiting ourselves to non-delta case is just as fine. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
