[PATCH v3 4/5] builtin/hash-object: fix uninitialized hash function

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2024-05-13 22:41:47
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Patrick Steinhardt <redacted>

The git-hash-object(1) command allows users to hash an object even
without a repository. Starting with c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting
SHA1 as the default object hash, 2024-05-07), this will make us hit an
uninitialized hash function, which subsequently leads to a segfault.

Fix this by falling back to SHA-1 explicitly when running outside of a
Git repository. Users can use GIT_DEFAULT_HASH_ALGORITHM environment to
specify what hash algorithm they want, so arguably this code should not
be needed.
