OK, here's a patch to implement pack.depth (with the default tweaked
to 50 --- is that too high?), followed by a simplified and reworked
patch to git-gc that only implements --no-reuse-delta.

I don't imagine that most users will want to use that feature most of
the time, hence the long option name, but occasionally, it might be
useful.  Yes, the user could just run "git-repack -a -d -f -l" after
running git-gc, but then the "git-repack -a -d -l" in git-gc is just a
wasted disk i/o.  I don't know if I'll manage to convince you, if not,
just drop the second patch, I guess.  :-)
