I think we might sidestep the issue entirely by remaining somewhat vague 
and simply saying "compressing objects" for that phase.  This is the 
part responsible for the reduction of a Git repository from 3GB down to 
200MB anyway.

OK. I liked it a little more specific, but perhaps users really don't
care what's going on. And it seems there is some support of simply
"compressing", so that's probably reasonable.

I think that is going to make the statistics line doubly confusing,
though, since we never even use the word "delta" (or any wacky
verbifications based on it), and then they get a line about numbers of
new and reused deltas.

Well, at least the statistics are real, and we're not inventing anything 
here.
