turns out that this was not so useful. Although we will
continue to read objects written in that format, we do not
honor that configuration anymore and create loose objects in
small enough delta results it creates while looking for the
best delta candidates.

that is shallower in depth over the smallest delta
possible. This improves both overall packfile access
performance and packfile density.
