Actually I thought about making it the default whenever git-pack-objects 
supported it, and use a negative option with git-repack to disable it 
instead.

The fact is that there is little reason for not using delta base offsets 
in most cases and specifying -b all the time would become more of an 
annoyance.

What do you think?
