| Which option is needed ?

This is the command that fails (from debugging pristine-tar):

xdelta delta -0 --pristine /tmp/pristine-tar.joIgDIVU9F/recreatetarball /tmp/pristine-tar.9DVOtZUF7E/origtarball /tmp/pristine-tar.9DVOtZUF7E/deltaxdel

So, the option missing from xdelta3 is:

  --pristine

>From xdelta(1) man page:

   -p, --pristine
       Disable the automatic decompression of gzipped inputs, to
       prevent unexpected differences in the re-compressed content.

thanks,
Jari
