I think we should, and I think we do. I haven't dug into the details,
but "object-format" looks like it's just that.

Maybe instead of SHA-1 and SHA-256, this should talk about "whatever has
been negotiated through 'object-format', or SHA-1", similar to brian's
suggestion elsewhere.

Yeah, that makes sense.
