Hi all,

Is sha256 still considered experimental or can it be assumed to be stable?

The usecase here is we are planning on moving to sha256 repositories mostly
due to integrity guarantees, hypothetical or otherwise. What is important is
not the initial interop challenges with sha1 repos, but whether the on-disk
format will remain compatible with future versions of git. At minimum, the
on-disk format would be converted by some future version(s) of git into
another one and not be an end-of-the-road because it was "experimental"
where dataloss is an implied risk.

I have no intention of changing things at this point.  I think it should
be viewed as stable by now, and I'd support this patch, although to get
it picked up it will need a commit message and a sign-off.
