-# Script to deltafy an entire GIT repository based on the commit list.
+# Example script to deltafy an entire GIT repository based on the commit list.
 # The most recent version of a file is the reference and previous versions
 # are made delta against the best earlier version available. And so on for
-# successive versions going back in time.  This way the delta overhead is
-# pushed towards older version of any given file.
-#
-# NOTE: the "best earlier version" is not implemented in mkdelta yet
-#       and therefore only the next eariler version is used at this time.

-# TODO: deltafy tree objects as well.
+# successive versions going back in time.  This way the increasing delta
+# overhead is pushed towards older versions of any given file.
 #
 # The -d argument allows to provide a limit on the delta chain depth.
-# If 0 is passed then everything is undeltafied.
+# If 0 is passed then everything is undeltafied.  Limiting the delta
+# depth is meaningful for subsequent access performance to old revisions.
+# A value of 16 might be a good compromize between performance and good
+# space saving.  Current default is unbounded.
+#
+# The --max-behind=30 argument is passed to git-mkdelta so to keep
+# combinations and memory usage bounded a bit.  If you have lots of memory
+# and CPU power you may remove it (or set to 0) to let git-mkdelta find the
+# best delta match regardless of the number of revisions for a given file.
+# You can also make the value smaller to make it faster and less
+# memory hungry.  A value of 5 ought to still give pretty good results.
+# When set to 0 or ommitted then look behind is unbounded.  Note that
+# git-mkdelta might die with a segmentation fault in that case if it
+# runs out of memory.  Note that the GIT repository will still be consistent
+# even if git-mkdelta dies unexpectedly.
