I can see a future where we have a different format that allows for
more metadata so we can encode the hash size separately. But maybe
that can be for format v3 and up.

Let's do format v2 = format v1 but with 32-byte hashes.

The way we've preferred to do this in Git is to write a four-byte hash
identifier into the file, but we have legacy concerns here, so I think
switching to v2 for SHA-256 is fine.

I've implemented this in the last version of the series.
