I thought that git does not have files, only changes?

The other way around. Basically, Git stores complete objects rather than some delta thing. Creating some commit whose diff reads
diff --git a/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ECN.c b/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ECN.c
will get you a .git/objects/55/0811365ac655c3b2d4f9183112e15ad0ae17ba. It is compressed, but it is still standalone/complete/non-deltified. You can nuke all other objects, and git show 550811365 should still succeed.
Deltified packs are a strap-on option (one that's enabled by default because of its usefulness) to the base design.
