Git 3.0 will make SHA-256 the new default content hashing algorithm and it will be an incomprehensibly expensive and ultimately valueless and avoidable global nightmare.

    Why not blake3?

        Where?

        The attack is vague and unlikely, but blak3 might be faster. Of course less support than sha256

          Grep blake3? Basically changing the algorithm is pointless, but you can tack on another algo, which can be sha-256, blake3, etc. It’s a good read.
