+git-mkdelta - Creates a delta object
+
+
+SYNOPSIS

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Creates a delta object to replace <reference_object> by using an
+ordered list of potential objects to deltafy against earlier objects
+in the list.
+
+A cap on the depth of delta references can be provided as well,
+otherwise the default is to not have any limit. A limit of 0 will
+also undeltafy a given object.
