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.
The blame and mistake isn’t honestly on git, but the rest of the tooling ecosystem. This wasn’t a snap decision and the fact that nobody thought to get ready in the 6 god fucking years that this has been planned is the real problem.
This will be painful, but only because apparently nobody was willing to just start supporting it 5min before the deadline.
