    Does it mean that when switching trop sha1 to sha256 you need to forcepush and rewrite all history? Wouldn’t that be a massive source of potential vulnerabilities?

      That's odd. Why not compute both sha1 and sha256 for all git objects for the foreseeable future?

      Failing that, have a kind of git object that wraps another and says hey this is in sha1 don't mess with it
