So even though the xdelta is just 8KB, and git-gc actually finds out
that indeed
the new file is very similar to the old one, the initial commit of the
new version
in the repos is not taking advantage.

Have you tried to git repack with aggressive options, like:

    git repack --window=500 --depth=500 \
      --window-memory=<fair amount of your physical RAM>

That wouldn't bring any benefit in this case.
