```
If the local receiving repository has disabled the use of delta base
offset, for example to retain compatibility with older versions of
Git that predate OFS_DELTA, we shouldn't ask for ofs-delta support
when we obtain a pack from the remote server.

 I just realized we don't honor this during fetch, and we should.

Good point.  I doubt it actually matters in practice or we would have 
heard about some complaints by now.  But for consistency sake I should 
produce a similar patch for C git as well.

Here it is, with commit log stolen from Shawn's JGit patch.
