I suppose it depends what you mean by deprecation. v2 is not even the default yet (but hopefully will be soon, perhaps in the next release). Once that happens, I doubt that we will add new capabilities or features to v1 in general. Old versions of Git would not be able to take advantage of them anyway, and new ones would be using v2. But I don't think v1 will go away for a long time. There will still be v1 clients and v1 servers hanging around for many years, and modern versions of Git will need to speak both. > 2.

I think it would be impossible to handle object-format via v1, because the v1 protocol writes the ref advertisement before any capabilities are negotiated. So I think v1 must implicitly remain sha1-only (and a sha256 repository on the server side would need to either reject a v1 client, or back-translate as it would for a v2 client which asks for sha1). -Peff
