I don't want to claim that my employer is not prioritizing SHA-256, it's
just that the focus right now is not having me write the interop code.
Other work is ongoing which has and probably will in the future result
in Git contributions, although not necessarily directly related to the
interop work.  Some of our work porting away from from libgit2 to Git to
get better SHA-256 support has resulted in us writing new features which
we upstream.

As far as my personal contributions, I'm focusing on other, smaller
Git-related things right now[0], and I'm just writing less code in C
(and effectively no code in C other than Git).  And I'm also doing other
things in my life which leave me less time to work on Git.
