Merge branch 'np/pack'
* np/pack:
add the capability for index-pack to read from a stream
index-pack: compare only the first 20-bytes of the key.
git-repack: repo.usedeltabaseoffset
pack-objects: document --delta-base-offset option
allow delta data reuse even if base object is a preferred base
zap a debug remnant
let the GIT native protocol use offsets to delta base when possible
make pack data reuse compatible with both delta types
make git-pack-objects able to create deltas with offset to base
teach git-index-pack about deltas with offset to base
teach git-unpack-objects about deltas with offset to base
introduce delta objects with offset to base
