Because of the delta combiner, all deltas in a representation chain must
use the same window size.

In the FSFS implementation, we could be careful about using the same
window size when deltifying against a delta representation. (But I
don't think we are.) In the BDB implementation, we can't do that even
in theory, because we don't know what representations rely on the
representation we're deltifying.
