Git takes baby steps towards swapping out vulnerable SHA-1 hashing algo for SHA-256

Why is Linus acting like this is some MASSIVE change?

- add extra field in d/b for SHA256 hash

- write update script that for every file in a reposity, computes its SHA256 hash and writes to new field

- anything that would compute/check an SHA1 hash, continue to do so if the SHA256 field is missing, otherwise use it

Done. It'd take a weekend. Stop being useless.
