I think the former would be sensible, the latter I fear might be a bit
too new but I do not recall the exact version dependency.

Could you draft a patch to ReleaseNotes to explain the consequences of
these changes using ordinary user's vocabulary, like:

	Starting v1.5.5, repack.usedeltabaseoffset will default to true,
	which will give denser packfile (i.e. more efficient storage).
	The downside is that git older than version X will not be able
	to use a repository packed using this setting.
