Since commit 9441b61dc5, two issues affected correct behavior of
index-pack:
1) The real_type of a delta object is the 'real_type' of its base, not
the 'type' which can be a "delta type". Consequence of this is a
corrupted pack index file which only needs to be recreated with a
good index-pack command ('git verify-pack' will flag those).
2( The code sequence:
result->data = patch_delta(get_base_data(base), base->obj->size,
delta_data, delta_size, &result->size);
has two issues of its own since base->obj->size should instead be
base->size as we want the size of the actual object data and not
the size of the delta object it is represented by. Except that
simply replacing base->obj->size with base->size won't make the
code more correct as the C language doesn't enforce a particular
ordering for the evaluation of needed arguments for a function call,
hence base->size could be pushed on the stack before get_base_data()
which initializes base->size is called.

Damn... this one was subtle. And I'm still wondering how the hell the
test suite is able to pass with this. I'll try to figure out why and
come up with better tests.
