Hi,

Another thing I have started in "pu" branch is to stop placing
an object we decided to delta that is already max-depth deep

the delta base slot.  The changed pack-objects does pick up more
delta, but the resulting pack seems bigger and I am puzzled why.

Not that I know much about the pack format, but is it possible that the 
deltas are deflated? In that case, a possible explanation is that a better 
delta is less compressible (and taken together, this could amount to more 
bytes).
