Yup. We test this in t3200 as well. I don't love it, but it exists.

Which is exactly why that test in t3200 has a SHA1 prerequisite. I'm
sure we'll hear someone complain about the fact that SHA-256
repositories have to have a config file, but I'm fine with us not
supporting it.
I should point out that lacking a config file also only works on Unix
systems with a POSIX file system (including case-sensitive macOS), since
otherwise core.ignorecase (and core.symlinks, if appropriate) aren't set
correctly. It also doesn't work for bare repositories on any OS. So
hopefully the number of people doing this is quite small.

I agree we shouldn't make things worse.
