The commit-graph format reserved a byte among the header of the file to store a "hash version". During the SHA-256 work, this was not modified because file formats are not necessarily intended to work across hash versions. If a repository has SHA-256 as its hash algorithm, it automatically up-shifts the lengths of object names in all necessary formats. However, since we have this byte available for adjusting the version, we can make the file formats more obviously incompatible instead of relying on other context from the repository. Update the oid_version() method in commit-graph.c to add a new value, 2, for sha-256. This automatically writes the new value in a SHA-256 repository _and_ verifies the value is correct. This is a breaking change relative to the current 'master' branch since 092b677 (Merge branch 'bc/sha-256-cvs-svn-updates', 2020-08-13) but it is not breaking relative to any released version of Git. The test impact is relatively minor: the output of 'test-tool read-graph' lists the header information, so those instances of '1' need to be replaced with a variable determined by GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH. A more careful test is added that specifically creates a repository of each type then swaps the commit-graph files. The important value here is that the "git log" command succeeds while writing a message to stderr.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
