--depth=250 means to allow chains of "To get this object, first inflate this object, then apply this delta" of length 250. That's absurdly long, and doesn't even help compression much in practice (many short chains referring to the same objects tends to work fine). We probably shouldn't make --aggressive do that. Something like --depth=10 would make more sense.
