You create these with something like:
ostree static-delta generate --empty --to=master
These will be automatically used during pull if no previous revision
exists in the target repo.
These work very much like the normal static deltas except they
are named just by the "to" revision. I.e:
deltas/94/f7d2dc23759dd21f9bd01e6705a8fdf98f90cad3e0109ba3f6c091c1a3774d
for a from-scratch to 94f7d2dc23759dd21f9bd01e6705a8fdf98f90cad3e0109ba3f6c091c1a3774d delta.

This has a very basic level of functionality (deltas can be generated,
and applied offline). There is only some stubbed out pull code to
fetch them via HTTP.
But, better to commit this now and improve it from a known starting
point, rather than have it languish in a branch.
