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.

The latter is partiularly useful to generate a "packed history", ie you
could pack up your old history efficiently, but still have it available
(at a performance hit, of course).
I haven't actually written an unpacker yet, so the end result has not
been verified in any way yet. I obviously always write bug-free code,
so it just has to work, no?
it now lists not only the "commit difference" between the parent of HEAD
and HEAD itself (which is normally just the parent, but in the case of a
merge will be all the newly merged commits), but also all the new tree
and blob objects that weren't in the original.
NOTE! It doesn't walk all the way to the root, so it doesn't do a full
object search in the full old history. Instead, it will only look as
far back in the history as it needs to resolve the commits. Thus, if
the commit reverts a blob (or tree) back to a state much further back in
history, we may end up listing some blobs (or trees) as "new" even
though they exist further back.
Regardless, the list of objects will be a superset (usually exact) list
of objects needed to go from the beginning commit to ending commit.
As a particularly obvious special case,
git-rev-list --objects HEAD
will end up listing every single object that is reachable from the HEAD
commit.

feature of git itself that is incredibly cool: you can merge a
_separate_ git project into another git project. Not only does this
keep all the history of the original project, it also makes it possible
