Hi, git people. I just noticed that you plan to change default hashsum in git 3.0.
Cool!

Please, prepare for regular change of hashsum.
No hash is forever. Be prepared to change hashsum algorithm once in 10 years.
See here for details, i. e. why no hash is forever: https://valerieaurora.org/hash.html
