It took me a while to figure out why this treated deltas and non-deltas
differently. At first I thought it was an optimization (since we can
find non-delta sizes quickly by looking at the headers).  But I think
it's just that you want to know the size of the actual _delta_, not the
reconstructed object. And there's no way to ask sha1_object_info() for
that.

Perhaps the _extended version of that function should learn an
OBJECT_INFO_NO_DEREF flag or something to tell it return the true delta
type and size. Then this whole function could just become a single call.

But short of that, it's probably worth a comment explaining what's going
on.

Minor nit, but can we use git_env_bool() here? It's just as easy, and
it's less surprising in some corner cases.

Ditto here; I think this could just be:

  pdata->oe_size_limit = git_env_ulong("GIT_TEST_OE_SIZE_BITS",
                                       (1 << OE_SIZE_BITS));

I was going to complain that we don't use ALLOC_GROW() here, but
actually that part is in the context. ;)

It's nice to have these available to test the uncommon cases. But I have
a feeling nobody will ever run them, since it requires extra effort (and
takes a full test run).

I see there's a one-off test for GIT_TEST_FULL_IN_PACK_ARRAY, which I
think is a good idea, since it makes sure the code is exercised in a
normal test suite run. Should we do the same for GIT_TEST_OE_SIZE_BITS?

Also, s/objecct/object/. :)

I haven't done an in-depth read of each patch yet; this was just what
jumped out at me from reading the interdiff.
