Maybe sha-256 could be considered for the next major-rev of git?

Not sure, but _if_ we want it we should do it sooner rather than
later.

Modifying git-convert-objects.c to rewrite the regular sha1 into a sha256 
should be fairly straightforward. It's never been used since the early 
days (and has limits like a maximum of a million objects etc that can need 
fixing), but it shouldn't be "fundamentally hard" per se.
