From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@xxxxxxxxxx>
The reftable backend needs to know the hash algorithm for writing the
initialization hash table.
The initial reftable contains a symref HEAD => "main" (or "master"), which is
agnostic to the size of hash value, but this is an exceptional circumstance, and
the reftable library does not cater for this exception. It insists that all
tables in the stack have a consistent format ID for the hash algorithm.
Call set_repo_hash_algo directly after reading out GIT_DEFAULT_HASH.
