I don't like the idea to exclude any blobs from delta by default, if the delta could be done. If the "very large blobs" are text files with very few difference, they deltifiy very well.

Additionlly, how do you want to define "very large blobs"?

For a system with eg. 256MB of RAM, deltifiny a blob with some hundred MBs is a problem whereas it is no problem, if you have some GB of RAM.
