Subject: [PATCH 5/5] commit-graph-format.txt: fix "Hash Version" description
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2020 14:21:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bbcd97db8a2c94343950bb0cf8cbd5c9c01b4577.1597406877.git.martin.agren@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1597406877.git.martin.agren@gmail.com>

We say that value 1 means "SHA-1", but in fact, it means "whatever
the_hash_algo is", see commit c166599862 ("commit-graph: convert to
using the_hash_algo", 2018-11-14).

Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com>

 If we want to be more fine-grained in the future, we'll need to say,
 e.g., "2 means SHA-1, 3 means SHA-256" or, perhaps preferrably, bump the
 version number.

 I wonder: Should we instead say "1 means SHA-1, 2 means SHA-256"? It
 could be implemented as "easily" as "if (value_from_header !=
 value_from_the_hash_algo) die(...);" for now. Might that pay off in the
 long run?

 This relates to Stolee's "in a vacuum" comment [1] ... so maybe we're
 fine.
