They didn't extend the git format, the format is still the same. Then don't go 
trough xdelta, which would be slow and use a lot of memory. They use the 
rolling checksum algorithm to create 8192kb blobs an then store it in the git 
format. The stuff they do is pretty clever and that's the only way git scales 
for large files (files larger than a view megabytes).
