Hi all I just read that git aims to transition to SHA256 by default, and conversion from SHA1 to SHA256 is needed for old repos. I was just curious how will that be achieved. Dumb idea, but maybe we can just encode the existing SHA1 sums' string to SHA256? Eg: $ echo -n 8994f255af5451b6cd1db01ee16d8cf15b9df81e | sha256sum bf8d6d915848377db81ee47e883c0a683b3d86a49ab120191ea1c3d76a30c33f *- so bf8d6d915848377db81ee47e883c0a683b3d86a49ab120191ea1c3d76a30c33f will be our new commit hash. I think we can do that since sha256sum is chosen due to negligible collisions right?
