All the suggestions by Peff, you, Duy, Dscho, Ramsay and Szeder Gabor
have been taken into account in the v5 that is in pu.

Except the suggestion by Duy to move 2 fields from 'struct
object_entry' to 'struct packing_data' (which is implemented in
patches 6/7 and 7/7) the suggestions have all been about relatively
small things (documentation, code modernization, regex check,
translation strings, ...) So the code is very similar to the original
code in https://github.com/peff/git/commits/jk/delta-islands which has
been used for years by GitHub in production.

FYI this has been requested from GitLab by Drupal (as well as others)
see https://www.drupal.org/drupalorg/blog/developer-tools-initiative-part-5-gitlab-partnership
which contains:

"The timeline for Phase 2 is dependent on GitLab’s resolution of a
diskspace deduplication issue, which they have committed to on our
behalf: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/23029";
