Changes since v1: * Dropped some "160-bit" I had missed. * Refer to the 'object-format' capability in a few spots rather than discussing SHA-1 vs SHA-256 repos. * Dropped the final patch, since Stolee has submitted a patch (series) for changing the implementation instead. These could be part of bc/sha-256-doc-updates, since they are quite similar in spirit, or go in separately, so these series don't need to hold each other hostage. Whatever Junio and brian prefer will be fine by me.
