I'm not sure what you mean by "un-delta-able" objects. Do you mean ones
where we're not likely to find a delta? Or ones where Git will not try
to look for a delta?
If the latter, I think the only rules are the "-delta" attribute and the
object size. You should be able to use git-check-attr and "git-cat-file"
to get that info.
If the former, I don't know how you would know. We can only report on
what isn't a delta _yet_.
