The objects are first internally sorted by type, size and optionally names and compared against the other objects within `--window` to see if using delta compression saves space. `--depth` limits the maximum delta depth; making it too deep affects the performance on the unpacker side, because delta data needs to be applied that many times to get to the necessary object. + The default value for both --window and --depth is 10.
