So if your .odf file is actually a zip with multiple files, then all you 
have to do is to convert that zip archive into a non compressed tar 
archive on checkins, and the reverse transformation on checkouts.  The 
non compressed tar content will delta well, the Git archive will be 
small, and no tricks with the index will be needed.

In fact, for the specific case of OO.o files, I would claim the proper
transformation is just converting to non-compressed zip on checkin...

(Non-compressed zip is just as good here as tar, and has the added
advantage that there is no need for a reverse transformation on
checkout :))
