Bump core.deltaBaseCacheLimit to 96mdk/raise-core-deltabasecachelimit
The default of 16m causes serious thrashing for large delta chains
combined with large files.
Here are some benchmarks (pu variant of git blame):
time git blame -C src/xdisp.c >/dev/null
for a repository of Emacs repacked with git gc --aggressive (v1.9,
resulting in a window size of 250) located on an SSD drive. The file in
question has about 30000 lines, 1Mb of size, and a history with about
2500 commits.
16m (previous default):
real 3m33.936s
user 2m15.396s
sys 1m17.352s
