I sense that this change makes the resulting text unnecessarily
opaque by avoiding touching the first sentence. Wouldn't something
more concise like this sufficient?
The default maximum size of memory that is consumed by each
thread in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] for pack window memory.
The value can be suffixed with "k", "m", or "g". When left
unconfigured, there will be no limit.
