Re: Starting to think about sha-256?

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.

Sure. I was rather thinking of rapidly increasing number of git
repositories, each with growing history.
