My proposal is that whatever we're using in the .git directory is consistent. If we're using SHA-1 for objects, then everything is SHA-1. If we're using NewHash for objects, then all data is stored in NewHash (except translation tables and such). Any conversions between SHA-1 and NewHash require a lookup through the standard techniques. I agree that here it would be more helpful if it were a reference to the_hash_algo, and I've applied a patch to my object-id-part14 series to make that conversion. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
