Let's simply remove it, I daresay nobody's concerned these days with having git clients running older than 2008-era git. See b6945f570ac (git-repack: repo.usedeltabaseoffset, 2006-10-13) and 9f17688d93c (update git-repack documentation wrt repack.UseDeltaBaseOffset, 2010-02-04) for the commits that previously introduced and adjusted this documentation.
