repack.usedeltabaseoffset config option now defaults to "true"

As announced for 1.6.0.

Access over the native protocol by old git versions is unaffected as
this capability is negociated by the protocol.  Otherwise setting this
config option to "false" and doing a 'git repack -a -d' is enough to
remain compatible with ancient git versions (older than 1.4.4).

repack.usedeltabaseoffset::
Allow linkgit:git-repack[1] to create packs that uses
delta-base offset. Defaults to false.
By default, linkgit:git-repack[1] creates packs that use
delta-base offset. If you need to share your repository with
git older than version 1.4.4, either directly or via a dumb
protocol such as http, then you need to set this option to
"false" and repack. Access from old git versions over the
native protocol are unaffected by this option.
