I think Git is simpler than that.
I saves all copies of a file. There is no need to use deltas. ;-)
I recommend to read the chapter 9 of Pro Git: 
http://progit.org/book/ch9-0.html

I think that it will be necessary to modify the way that git works because it 
was created to provide versions for the whole repository (like SVN) and not 
per file (like CVS) as used in other services. Anyway, this can simplify 
everything.

If you need help to understand how git works, feel free to contact me.
I'm not a git developper, but I've studied it.
