git-pack-objects: do the delta search in reverse size order Starting from big objects and going backwards means that we end up picking a delta that goes from a bigger object to a smaller one. That's advantageous for two reasons: the bigger object is likely the newer one (since things tend to grow, rather than shrink), and doing a delete tends to be smaller than doing an add. So the deltas don't tend to be top-of-tree, and the packed end result is just slightly smaller.
