Using BLK_SHA1 in lieu of the OpenSSL routines was done in 9bccfcdbff ("Windows: use BLK_SHA1 again", 2009-10-22), since DC_SHA1 is now the default for git in general it makes sense for Windows to use that too, this looks like something that was missed back in e6b07da278 ("Makefile: make DC_SHA1 the default", 2017-03-17). As noted in 2cfc70f0de ("mingw: use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines", 2017-02-09) OpenSSL has a performance benefit compared to BLK_SHA1 on MinGW, so perhaps that and the Windows default should be changed around again. That's a topic for another series, it seems clear that this specific flag is nobody's explicit intention.
