Re: [PATCH 6/6] pack-objects: reuse deltas for thin "have" objects

> When we calculate the "wants" and "haves" for a pack, we
> only add the objects in the boundary commits as preferred
> bases. However, we know that every object reachable from the
> "haves" could be a preferred base.

> However, there is no reason we cannot reuse an on-disk delta
> against such a deep "have" base, avoiding the delta search
