[PATCH] Change 'Deltifying objects' to 'Delta compressing objects'

From: Shawn O. Pearce <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:43:42
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Recently I was referred to the Grammar Police as the git-pack-objects
progress message 'Deltifying %u objects' is considered to be not
proper English to at least some small but vocal segment of the
English speaking population.  Techncially we are applying delta
compression to these objects at this stage, so the new term is
slightly more acceptable to the Grammar Police but is also just
as correct.

 To go on top of your 'np/progress' series that is currently in next.
 I think it might keep us out of trouble with certain individuals...
