Fair enough.  Having thought about it a bit more, if people
agree, I think it would make more sense to rip out "delta"
object support first before doing read_sha1_file() and friends
that uses .git/objects/pack.

My "preferred order" now look like this:

 (1) have people with deltified repositories convert them back
     to undeltified (I think git-pack-objects would barf on such
     repository);

 (2) drop "delta" objects from GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY; this means
     that git-deltafy-script and git-mkdelta have to go.

 (3) teach read_sha1_file() to read from packed GIT in
     .git/objects/pack;

 (4) teach fsck-cache about packed GIT;

 (5) tell git-*-pull about packed GIT;
