The second meaning of "delta compression" is vaguer, but generally refers to replacing a sequence of deltas (aka changesets), which are meant to be applied sequentially, with a single changeset that represents their composition.
This is the same as "summary deltas", discussed here: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-arch-users/2003-09/msg01774.html Summary deltas could be produced by "changeset composition": http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-arch-users/2004-01/msg01168.html Right?
