Hi,
I just tried to push a repo using sha256 hashes[0]. Rather unsurprising,
this caused an error:

	fatal: protocol error: unexpected capabilities^{}

Looking at IPv6 adoption this issue is probably not that pressing, but
something that should at least be on the radar.
My guess is that it's probably going to have quite far-reaching effects
since pretty much all services (except hg) use git hashes in some
capacity.

I think this might provide some context for the challenges of switching to SHA256: https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/898522/9cf50ee3f96f90c1/
